    Until just now I’d never heard of Leon Black, seems he’s never heard of the Streisand effect.

    I wonder who else is hidden away in the Epstein files.

    Wow! This guy is all kinds of fucked up. From a Newsweek article: “Leon Black has been accused of violently raping a 16-year-old girl with autism and Down syndrome”

    Black’s lawsuit argues the subpoenas exceed the committee’s authority by seeking private information unrelated to Epstein or any legitimate legislative purpose. It asks a federal judge to declare the subpoenas invalid and prevent the committee from enforcing them.

    “The Committee is on a fishing expedition that oversteps its authority and completely ignores its responsibility,” Black’s attorney, Susan Estrich, said in a statement. “This is no longer about finding the truth about Epstein. It is about trying to destroy Mr. Black.”

    He sounds desperate. Congress has the inherent power to investigate anything because of it’s oversight role.
