Walkinshaw Statement on Holding Leon Black in Contempt

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman James R. Walkinshaw (VA-11), a Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after billionaire Leon Black, the primary client of Jeffrey Epstein, defied his subpoena and refused to appear for a deposition before the Oversight Committee. “Billionaire Leon Black refused to testify today, defying two congressional subpoenas. Black paid Jeffrey Epstein more than $180 million over six years, yet the last time he appeared before Oversight, he walked out rather than answer questions about their relationship and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) used to silence women. Enough. We must hold him in contempt.” ###
