Billionaire Leon Black Meets House Panel in Epstein Probe

Billionaire Leon Black, whose past dealings with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein have drawn scrutiny, appeared for a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee at the Capitol on June 26, 2026.

The session was part of the panel's ongoing examination of Epstein's network and the extent of his influence among prominent figures in business and politics. Black, a co-founder of the investment firm Apollo Global Management, has previously acknowledged a professional relationship with Epstein, which he has described as limited to financial and tax advice.

The interview was conducted behind closed doors, a format often used in such inquiries to allow for detailed discussion of sensitive material. The committee has not publicly detailed the specific lines of questioning, but the meeting marks a notable step in its review of Epstein's connections.

Black's appearance adds to a series of interactions between the committee and individuals linked to Epstein, as lawmakers seek to piece together the scope of his activities and associations.
