Lawmakers Subpoena Billionaire Affiliated with Epstein
Lawmakers subpoena billionaire investor Leon Black after a contentious interview on payments to Jeffrey Epstein.
Correspondent Bernie Bennett reports.
VERBATIM: The House Oversight Committee served subpoenas to Black on Friday after lawmakers say he refused to answer some questions about his years-long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a time in which he paid the disgraced financier at least 158 million dollars.
Black is the co-founder and former chief executive of the private equity firm Apollo Global Management who stepped down in 2021 amid fallout over his ties to Epstein. He became the 16th person to appear before the committee as part of their broader investigation into the web of wealth and influence around Epstein.
