Black Refuses to Answer Epstein NDA Questions

Billionaire Leon Black walked out of a congressional hearing after refusing to answer subpoenas demanding non-disclosure agreements tied to his past dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. Once CEO of Apollo Global Management, Black stepped down in 2021 over Epstein ties but insists he did nothing wrong, calling Epstein a deceptive “Jekyll and Hyde” figure. He claims to have paid Epstein $158 million for legitimate tax advice, a sum previously scrutinized for possible disguised personal payments. Black denies any involvement in abuse or trafficking, and his legal team calls the subpoenas politically motivated. A key detail: Black allegedly prepared an NDA in 2015 to silence a former model, Guzel Ganieva, who later received $9 million — with Epstein reportedly advising how to approach her. Despite his departure and legal defenses, lawmakers vow to hold him accountable if he doesn’t cooperate further, as the probe continues to expose Epstein’s web of influence and the justice owed to survivors.
