> Billionaire investor Leon Black skipped a US congressional committee examining Jeffrey Epstein and sued the House Oversight Committee in federal court. He calls subpoenas demanding nondisclosure agreements and an on-camera deposition under oath invalid, arguing that disclosure could expose women who sought confidentiality and had no known or public connection to Epstein. Black denies wrongdoing in his dealings with Epstein.
