The House Oversight Committee served subpoenas to billionaire investor Leon Black after he refused to answer some questions during voluntary testimony Friday about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The former head of Apollo Global Management denied any criminal wrongdoing, saying he was deceived by the late sex offender.
Black maintained a yearslong relationship with Epstein and paid him a reported $158 million in fees between 2012 and 2017.
But in his opening statement, Black said he was unaware of Epstein’s nefarious activity until later, saying, “I knew Jekyll. I didn’t know Hyde.”
