NewzBillionaire investor Leon Black refused to appear for a scheduled sworn deposition before a US congressional committee on Thursday. Instead of attending, Black filed a lawsuit in federal court to challenge and block subpoenas issued by the House Oversight Committee.
The congressional committee's subpoenas are part of an ongoing investigation into the links between disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and wealthy and powerful individuals. Black's legal challenge aims to halt the committee's demands for his testimony regarding these ties.
