Billionaire Leon Black sues House committee over Epstein subpoenas

Billionaire investor Leon Black sued the U.S. House Oversight Committee in early September 2026, after the panel subpoenaed him to turn over documents related to his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Black also declined to appear for a scheduled deposition, and the committee is now considering holding him in contempt of Congress.

The lawsuit seeks to block the subpoenas, which demand non-disclosure agreements and other records connected to Epstein. Black has not yet commented publicly on the legal action.
