Leon Black Storms Out Of His Epstein Related Congressional Interview (6/29/26)

Leon Black was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee in the middle of his closed-door testimony about Jeffrey Epstein after he refused to answer questions about possible non-disclosure agreements involving women connected to Epstein. Chairman James Comer said lawmakers wanted the NDAs to determine whether Epstein was involved in writing them, arranging them, funding them, or using them to silence women in his orbit. One subpoena demands the NDA records, and another requires Black to return for videotaped testimony under oath on July 16. Black’s lawyer, Susan Estrich, blasted the move as a “planned political stunt” and said Epstein had no involvement with any NDAs, whether they exist or not.

Black told lawmakers he had no role in Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes, no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse, and never paid Epstein for access to women. He repeated that he hired Epstein for tax and estate planning work, saying Epstein “solved a massive estate problem” and that he believed the fees were partly tax-deductible, even though the total eventually came to about $158 million. Black said Epstein deceived him, describing the relationship as “I knew Jekyll” and “I didn’t know Hyde,” while also pointing to an Apollo-commissioned Dechert review that found no evidence he participated in Epstein’s crimes. The committee’s focus, however, is now moving beyond the old explanation about tax advice and into whether Black’s private legal arrangements with women intersected with Epstein’s network.
