Leon Black Sues House Oversight Committee in Escalating Epstein Probe (9/5/26)

0:00What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Yesterday, Leon Black was scheduled to appear before Congress to renew the discussion about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Well, that didn't really work out the way that Congress was hoping it would work out, and not only did Leon Black decide not to show up, he decided that he was going to sue Congress instead. Now think about that for a minute. If Leon Black is willing to sue Congress, how in the hell do you think any of these survivors stand a chance coming out against people like Leon Black? You want to talk about financial ruin? Well, here's a sure path to it, and that's why the whole entire BS line by the DOJ about how these women should be coming forward, and talking about this is BS. Because the DOJ, they know all of this already. Remember, it's never been a lack of evidence. It's always been a lack of willpower, and we're seeing that on display when it comes to Congress. Imagine being a member of this committee,

1:04and this dude just dog walking you like this? How do you go back to your district? I mean, for real, of all the people you let dog walk you, it's Leon Black, and as far as Black goes, you got to ask yourself, what the fuck is this dude trying to hide? I mean, Bill Gates, Jess Staley? No problem going up there and talking to Congress, even though they knew they were going to come out looking stupid. But Leon Black? Whole ass different story, right? All of a sudden Leon Black should be given special treatment? Leon Black shouldn't answer questions? You see, Congress might be scared of Leon Black, but I am certainly not. So, in the next few episodes, we're going to be talking about Bitchass Leon Black, and his refusal to speak with Congress. This article was published by The New York Post and the headline. Billionaire Leon Black sues House Oversight Committee amid NDA fight in Jeffrey Epstein probe. This article was authored by Stephen Nelson. One of America's richest men sued the House Oversight

2:05Committee on Thursday in a desperate bid to avoid testifying about his connection to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Leon Black, the 75-year-old former CEO of Apollo Global Management, called a subpoena for his testimony and valid and said the inquiry bears no legitimate connection to a legislative purpose. Imagine saying that? Bro is paid out what? $200 million in relation to Jeffrey Epstein, including a lawsuit down in the Virgin Islands to get his name pulled out of the records. But all of a sudden nobody should have any questions about what he was up to, about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and he's the one suing people on the next episode of Shit That Subssured. Black stepped down from Apollo in 2021 after an independent review commissioned by the firm found he steered 158 million deptstein in exchange for financial advice and purported charitable work that we have no record of, no receipts about,

3:06and just Leon Black's word to go off of. Now if that's good enough for you, cool. For me, I need some evidence. The days of trust us, bro, are long over and not just when it comes to Epstein, with everything. And this is why I've been so vocal about our institutions crumbling, not because I want to propagate it, not because I want it to accelerate, and not because I'm happy about it. It's the complete opposite. Once the institutions fail and crumble, once people stop losing faith in the institutions, it's not much longer before the civilization begins to tumble and folks, are you not paying attention yet? That's where we're at. All this petty bickering, all this fighting, all this bullshit, it's just accelerating these institutions crumbling at an accelerated rate. And then of course you have the institutions themselves who shoulder most of the blame. I can't blame people for not trusting these institutions, when every time you turn around,

4:10there's some bullshit occurring. People getting rich in Congress, people not facing any kind of blowback for the shit they do, and basically just a free for all. And when you have institutions that people don't trust, then that leads to a society without trust. And that's pretty much where we are. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer accused Black of hiding behind litigation to avoid providing answers about his relationship with Epstein, who was found dead, it has been at in jail so in 2019. Well, I like how they said he was found dead, not that he killed himself, because I still don't believe that. And again, look, I'm not some crazy person. Show me the evidence. If you have evidence that points to Jeffrey Epstein taking his own life, that's not disputed. I'd love to see it. Because everything that I've seen is absolutely disputed, whether that's by Dr. Bodden, or by people close to Epstein, or by people from those OIG interviews. How many of those people that we listened to in those interviews didn't believe that Epstein killed himself. Several.

5:17So I'm certainly not somebody that's going to say, oh, he definitely didn't kill himself, and somebody murdered him. I think that's what happened. And I think that there is a very good argument to be made for that. But if somebody would provide some evidence pointing the other way, and that offered us real proof that Epstein did kill himself, then that's what it would be. But up until this point, we haven't seen real proof. And if you want to take the word of Bill Bar, you want to take the word of Cash Patel and Todd Blanche? That's up to you. Me personally, I don't believe a word out of any of their mouths. Mr. Black's testimony is crucial to our investigation as he was one of Mr. Epstein's fee-paying clients and has several non-disclosure agreements, said Comer, adding that he believes Black is trying to run out the clock on the current congressional session, which ends January 3, 2027, with his suit. After that date, the subpoena would have to be reissued if Black does not agree to appear. Well, he's playing with fire. Because if

6:18the Democrats win the House, you know they're going to go all out. Well, not because they care, but because they know it's politically expedient. And like I've told you before, I'm willing to ride that bus. Not that I agree with them. Not that I trust them. But anything that gets us closer to the goal line, anything that gets us closer to full transparency, I'm on board for. I've had enough. And if a new set of Congress people are going to come in and they're going to really demand accountability and they're going to hold people accountable, then I'm all for it. So Leon Black might be playing with fire here. And him coming in now is probably the best bet for him, considering he has some favorable people, if you will, on the side. We all know that his son is part of the administration. So how many people have been reached out to on this committee? Again, I don't know for sure, but it's not that big of a leap, right? Oh, hey, look, my dad's in some trouble here. Can you guys help him out? What, that's not how Washington works. Black is America's 78th richest

7:21man, according to Forbes, with an estimated net worth of 13.8 billion. He claimed in June that he was oblivious to Epstein's abuse of women and girls insisting, I knew a jackal. I didn't know hide. Yes, you did. And you know him well, the whole entire narrative that this man is pitching is just ridiculous. If you didn't have anything to hide, why in the hell did you pay out $62.5 million down in the USVI? Does that sound like somebody who's innocent? Or does that sound like somebody that wants this shit to go away? As usual, I'll let you be the judge. Black's attorney Susan Estridge claimed Thursday that oversight committee is on a fishing expedition that oversteps its authority and that its members are trying to destroy Mr. Black. You notice how they just flip the script? Oh, they're trying to destroy Mr. Black. Naubech, his lame ass fucking behavior is destroying him. His relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is destroying him. Nobody else?

8:24It's always somebody else's fault, right? These motherfuckers need to take a good hard look in the mirror, and a lot of them need to find a moral anchor. And if you don't know what I mean by that, it's when you have somebody in your life that when you're making a decision, you ask yourself, would that person be proud of me for making this decision? And people that don't have a moral anchor? Well, a lot of times they don't have a moral compass. And when we're talking about people like Leon Black, forget it, you know he has no moral anchor. Because for people like Leon Black, he's the center of every universe. Yours included. The outcome of the November 3rd election is unlikely to change the panel's attempt, the force Black's testimony, and even could heighten the stakes for the businessman. And I think that's a legitimate fear because the next Congress might not be so happy, might not be so willing to go along with the bullshit. And they might pass the second part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And if they do that, then there's going to be teeth.

9:26And then of course, this is the different conversation. By refusing to testify today, Leon Black is now defying two congressional subpoenas, said oversight committee ranking member, Robert Garcia. We must hold them in contempt immediately. Yeah, I agree with that. Why wouldn't we hold them in contempt? Like what are we even doing here? You would think that somebody like Leon Black, who is telling Congress to go get stuffed, would be the first person you're looking to hold in contempt. You want to pass a message on? You want to show the rest of the country, the rest of the world? That there's an even playing field for everybody? Then Leon Black has to be held accountable. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to Florida State charges of soliciting prostitution, including from a minor, but managed to maintain an impressive roster of powerful friends until his 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. And that's why the whole entire plea deal was negotiated and put on the books the way it was so that Epstein can keep his shine, right?

10:28So he'd still be useful to the people who needed him. And that's why when you hear people talking now about how the one girl was 17 about to turn 18, they're disingenuous. And it's either because they're ignorant of what went on or they're just nefarious one or the other. Because anybody who knows the story knows that Epstein was molesting little girls that were 14 years old. Some reports say 11. So you can save the whole, oh, it was 117-year-old girl who was about to turn 18 for somebody else. Because I'm not buying that shit. And keep in mind, anybody who says that is enabling Jeffrey Epstein. The perverted financier circle included former president Bill Clinton, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Victoria Secretighton, Les Wexner, and former Israeli prime minister Elhude Barak, spawning theories that he blackmailed rich patrons and possibly work with spy agencies. Well, that's the only reason, huh? Because he had those relationships. How about what he did with

11:31the relationships? That's what makes people believe that he was working with indeligence, not that he just had relationships. Comer secretary Howard Lutnik, Epstein's former uppery side neighbor, claimed to the post last year that he believed this ex-offender was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money. Well, no shit, Mr. Lutnik. And of all the things Lutnik has said about Epstein, that's the true statement that he's made. President Trump was friendly with Epstein in the 90s, but broke off ties in the early 2000s, with the president saying the following out occurred after Epstein poached Mar-a-Lago's boss staffers, including Virginia Roberts, who said she was later traffic to Epstein's close friend, Prince Andrew. Is that really what happened? Or was it a business deal? Or was it one of the other scenarios that were put forward? Which one is it? Can we get the real story from the sarpico of Mar-a-Lago? Or no? I know, I know, it's just a big hoax. Last July, then Attorney General Pound Bondi issued a memo, refusing to release federal files

12:36on the Epstein case, writing that no client list exists, and that we did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties, despite assessing there were over 1,000 victims of the pedophile. No further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted, Rob Bondi, drawing bipartisan backlash. And remember, this is after she told us, it's on my desk. Oh yeah, the list is on my desk. I have truckloads of documentation coming on over, and have you checked the Dow? Congress then mandated the release of thousands of files held by the DOJ, leading to a wave of corporate and political resignations, including those of then British ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, Goldman Sachs chief legal officer Kathy Rumler, and Harvard university professor Larry Summers. Should I care about any of that? Because I don't. All of them deserved everything they got, and more. They were all adjacent to Epstein, they all enabled them, and then they all lied about that relationship for years afterwards.

13:42So now that they've been caught, now that they've been outed, I don't give a damn, and I hope the shame follows them, and they have to wear that shit like a scarlet letter, because guess what? Nobody told them they should associate with Epstein. Nobody told them that they should be friends with Jeffrey Epstein. They chose to do that. So don't come crying to me about their reputations, because I don't give a fuck. And as far as Leon Black goes, I have a few episodes coming up, and we're going to talk more about him. But I just wanted to set the tone and get the story going. And now we're going to go a little bit deeper. But until then, that's going to do it for this one.
