Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein applaud the House Oversight Committee’s 41-0 vote to hold Leon Black in contempt for defying subpoenas seeking his testimony and the NDAs tied to the Epstein case. Black says he did nothing wrong and argues the subpoenas are invalid, with the contempt resolution now moving to a full House vote; meanwhile, Comer unveils the Survivor’s Voice Protection Act to strengthen protections for survivors against NDAs.

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.

Texas Data Center Boom Collides with Transparency Push

Texas is seeing a surge in data centers, but information about projects is uneven at best due to nondisclosure agreements, shell companies, and private negotiations that shield ownership, water use, and power needs from residents and officials. In response, Governor Abbott has paused approvals and lawmakers are pushing for stronger reporting requirements as watchdogs note about 248 planned projects and 34 counties calling for more transparency.

Black dodges NDA questions as Epstein probe hits a snag in House hearing

Leon Black refused to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements during a closed House hearing into Jeffrey Epstein, prompting subpoenas for the NDAs and for a future deposition; Democrats say the NDAs and Epstein’s involvement are central to the probe, while Black’s team calls the move partisan. The testimony revisits Black’s long ties to Epstein and the payments involved, and follows an Apollo Global Management independent review that found no evidence of wrongdoing by Black or Apollo, even as related lawsuits and investigations continue.

Trump pushes sweeping NDAs for federal workers to curb leaks

OPM published a draft non-disclosure agreement for current and new federal workers intended to curb media leaks, saying the document documents obligations to safeguard non-public information and does not create new substantive speech restrictions, while preserving whistleblower rights. Critics, including the largest federal union, warn the measure could chill free speech and be used to pressure agencies to require signing; the public has 30 days to comment before finalization, and past leaks cited in the notice—about a Venezuela raid and ICE agent data—frame the context.

White House Proposes National NDA for Federal Employees, Sparking Debate

OPM proposes a government-wide nondisclosure agreement for federal employees to curb unauthorized disclosures and protect confidential information; agencies could choose to apply the NDA to onboarding and current staff, with civil and criminal penalties for violations, but it would not affect legally protected whistleblower disclosures; unions and critics warn it could chill candor and silence employees, as the rule enters a 30-day public comment period.

The move comes amid a string of leaks that have damaged the court’s reputation, and it’s unclear whether the justices themselves were asked to sign similar agreements.
