AUG 19 · Day 279
House panel chair threatens Leon Black with contempt
Comer said the committee would use all tools at its disposal, including contempt, if Black refuses to provide responsive documents or appear for his deposition scheduled for 3 September 2026.
Comer said Black does not have the right to decide what documents are responsive to the subpoena, and that agreements signed after Epstein's death could still involve Epstein's victims.
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.”
