Congressional Panel Investigating Epstein Subpoenas Leon Black in Unusual Escalation

Leon Black, a private equity mogul, has been subpoenaed by a congressional panel investigating Jeffrey Epstein. The panel's Republican chairman issued the subpoena after Black declined to discuss nondisclosure agreements at a closed-door hearing. Black's refusal to cooperate prompted the unusual escalation, which is a significant step in the investigation. The subpoena marks a new level of pressure on Black to provide information related to the Epstein case.
