Billionaire investor Leon Black will sit for a deposition with the House Oversight Committee on Sept. 3 for its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the panel announced Wednesday.
Republicans and Democrats on the panel fumed last month when the billionaire showed up to a voluntary interview and refused to hand over nondisclosure agreements and answer “vital” questions. Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Kentucky) subpoenaed Black for his testimony and the NDAs during that interview. Black had initially been scheduled to testify under oath on Thursday.
Black, a longtime Epstein associate, will also hand over nondisclosure agreements that lawmakers have requested by the end of next week, a committee spokesperson said.
