US billionaire Leon Black has filed a lawsuit against the House Oversight Committee, arguing that subpoenas issued as part of its inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein are invalid.
The committee’s summonses ordered Black to provide non-disclosure agreements. The documents sought by the panel are at the centre of the legal challenge, although the supplied material does not provide further details about their contents or the committee’s wider investigation.
Black has also defied the summons, according to the supplied material. His lawsuit contests the committee’s authority to issue the subpoenas rather than setting out the underlying details of the inquiry.
No further information is provided about the committee’s response, the court handling the case or any timetable for a ruling. The immediate position is that the dispute remains subject to legal proceedings.
