Billionaire Leon Black walked out of a congressional hearing on Jeffrey Epstein on Friday. The hearing formed part of a probe into the financier’s relationship with the late sex‑offender. After the session ended, Black said he was had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal acts. A House Judiciary Committee later issued a subpoena to Black, demanding documents and testimony about funds he transferred to Epstein’s estate. The subpoena follows the abrupt hearing exit and increases scrutiny of the former BlackRock chief to explain his ties to the convicted pedophile.
