Black fights Epstein subpoenas, files suit to block testimony

Billionaire investor Leon Black refused to testify before the House Oversight Committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein, instead filing a federal lawsuit in Washington challenging the committee’s subpoenas to obtain NDAs and an on-camera deposition. His team argues the disclosures would invade privacy and have no legitimate legislative purpose, framing the move as an abuse of Congressional power; the dispute could lead to contempt proceedings if the committee pursues enforcement, while Black has said his dealings with Epstein were legitimate and denies any wrongdoing.
