Billionaire Leon Black Sues Lawmakers, Skips Epstein Questioning

Billionaire Leon Black sued a House committee on September 3, 2026, to block two orders tied to the Epstein scandal — one for documents, one for in-person questioning — and did not show up for that questioning. His lawyer called the probe a "fishing expedition." Rep. Robert Garcia demanded contempt proceedings; whether the Republican-led House will act remains unclear.
