Leon Black vs House Oversight | Philadelphia News

Billionaire Leon Black just lit a firestorm by suing the House Oversight Committee instead of appearing for a deposition tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s investigation. Claiming subpoenas demand private, irrelevant info, Black wants a federal judge to toss them — a move lawmakers call a stalling tactic and are now threatening to hold him in contempt, potentially paving the way for criminal charges. His past $150M payments to Epstein — made even after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea — remain under scrutiny, despite Apollo Global Management’s claim they were for tax and estate planning. While Black insists he didn’t know about Epstein’s crimes until later, his refusal to comply has thrust him into direct conflict with Congress as it probes Epstein’s web of influence.
