House Oversight Chair Comer Escalates Contempt Threat Against Leon Black

Rep. James Comer has escalated threats of contempt against Leon Black for not fully complying with subpoenas related to the Epstein investigation.
Black has provided one non-disclosure agreement but Comer insists more documents are necessary, particularly those potentially involving Epstein's victims.
The Oversight Committee's investigation includes examining the federal government's handling of Epstein's case and related sex-trafficking operations.
A deposition with Black is scheduled for September 3, 2026, but Black's legal team is seeking to delay it and limit the scope of questioning.
