House panel chair threatens Leon Black with contempt

Comer wrote that Black had never sought a reasonable accommodation from the committee but had consistently sought to dictate the scope of its investigation.

According to Comer's letter, Black defended providing a single NDA on the grounds that any additional confidentiality agreements would have been negotiated well after Epstein's death in 2019.

Estrich said Black provided the committee with the only confidentiality agreement that pre-dated Epstein's death and the only one of which Epstein was aware.

“Congress has no right to invade private lives as part of a fishing expedition especially where the parties to a confidentiality agreement do not want their identities revealed in a circus-like atmosphere and especially when Epstein had nothing do with any agreement.”
