Leon Black Sues Congress Instead Of Answering Epstein Questions
The Apollo co-founder filed his complaint the same day the Oversight Committee expected answers, asking a judge to void its subpoenas outright.
- Black filed docket 1:26-cv-03084 in Washington's federal district court on September 3, 2026.
- The suit names Chairman James Comer personally over the committee's Epstein network investigation.
- Black asks the court to void the subpoenas rather than answer them under oath.
Why it matters: A subpoena answered with a lawsuit is obeyed only in form, never in substance.
