Billionaire investor Leon Black has refused to appear for a subpoenaed Congressional deposition and sued the House Oversight Committee in a dramatic escalation of its Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Black, the former CEO of Apollo Global Management, was due to appear for a deposition on Thursday but did not attend. Instead, he filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington seeking to block two congressional subpoenas tied to the committee's probe of Epstein's network and the government's handling of the case.
