Leon Black sues House Oversight to block subpoenas in Epstein probe
x/jeffrey-epstein
— 2d
Billionaire Leon Black sued a U.S. House Oversight Committee to block subpoenas demanding NDAs and his deposition in the Epstein probe, arguing the order exceeds authority and intrudes on privacy; he skipped a scheduled deposition and calls the inquiry a fishing expedition, while the committee defends the probe as necessary to uncover mishandling and Epstein's network, leaving the possibility of contempt if he continues to refuse.

x/hakeem-jeffries
— 2d
Virginia’s 2025 elections produced a Democratic trifecta, expanding state control and advancing policies on higher minimum wages, paid sick leave, salary transparency, and cannabis sales, signaling a shift toward a more expansive government role in a once-competitive state. In Congress, Democratic leaders face unity tests as they pursue an ambitious agenda to oversight the current president Trump’s administration and address cost of living, while managing a razor-thin majority and intra-party divisions that could shape the party’s ability to govern.
