House Oversight Chair Threatens Leon Black with Contempt over Epstein Documents

House Oversight Chairman James Comer threatened billionaire Leon Black with contempt on August 19 if he fails to produce subpoenaed documents or appear for a September 3 deposition in the committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Black's lawyers sought to delay the deposition and secure immunity from contempt; Comer rejected all conditions. Black's lawyer called the probe a "political witch hunt."
