Billionaire Leon Black Sues House Panel, Skips Epstein Deposition

Apollo Global Management cofounder Leon Black sued the House Oversight Committee on September 3, 2026, to quash two Epstein-related subpoenas — one for documents, one for deposition testimony — and did not appear for that deposition. His lawyer called the probe a "fishing expedition." Rep. Robert Garcia demanded immediate contempt proceedings; whether the Republican-controlled House will act remains unclear.
