Leon Black Sues Congress Over Subpoenas Related to Epstein Investigation

<p>Republican oversight chair James Comer stated he will discuss next steps with the committee regarding Leon Black's refusal to comply with two subpoenas related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. Black, a billionaire financier, filed a lawsuit against the oversight committee on Thursday, claiming the subpoenas were improper.</p><p>Comer commented, "It’s a shame Leon Black is hiding behind litigation rather than provide answers to the American people. Our investigation is examining how the federal government for decades failed survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes and how Mr. Epstein sought to curry favor with influential individuals to avoid scrutiny. Mr. Black’s testimony is crucial to our investigation as he was one of Mr. Epstein’s fee paying clients and has several nondisclosure agreements."</p>
