Leon Black sues House panel, defies subpoena in Epstein inquiry

Leon Black, a billionaire investor, is challenging a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee related to its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. Black has refused to testify, citing legal concerns.

In his lawsuit, Black argues that the committee does not have the authority to compel him to produce nondisclosure agreements. The lawsuit claims the panel’s subpoena infringes on his legal rights.

The House Oversight Committee has issued two subpoenas to Black, who has opted to fight the requests in court. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions over congressional investigations into Epstein’s associates and related confidentiality agreements.
