House Oversight panel to depose Leon Black in Epstein probe in September

The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday scheduled billionaire investor Leon Black's deposition in its probe into Jeffrey Epstein for September, after the titan declined to answer questions about potential nondisclosure agreements.

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., issued two subpoenas for Black in the middle of his voluntary transcribed interview last month over his refusal to answer the questions. 

The deposition, which will be videotaped and under oath, will take place on Sept. 3. 

A spokesperson for the committee's Republicans told Politico that the Apollo Global Management founder's legal team will also transfer at the end of next week nondisclosure agreements the investor allegedly had with women tied to Epstein.

“We believe that [NDA] information is vital to our investigation,” Comer said last month. “We want to know, was Jeffrey Epstein involved in the NDAs? Was he involved in awarding [of] funds to the women for the NDAs? What was the reason for the NDAs?”

The committee initially ordered Black to appear for a deposition on Thursday, but the deposition was pushed to September. The second subpoena requires him to produce nondisclosure agreements to the committee.
