Letter Requesting Interview with Leon Black

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM LETTER REQUESTING A TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEW: LEON BLACK DATED MARCH 3, 2026 This congressional letter requests that Leon D. Black appear for an in-person transcribed interview in connection with the House Oversight Committee's review of the federal government's handling of Epstein and Maxwell matters. It was issued the same day as six related requests to other named witnesses. The letter outlines a five-part investigative scope: review of potential federal mismanagement of investigations; scrutiny of Epstein's death and subsequent inquiries; examination of sex-trafficking ring operations and policy countermeasures; review of attempts by Epstein and Maxwell to build protective influence; and assessment of possible ethics violations related to elected officials. The Committee states that a combination of public reporting, DOJ disclosures, and committee-obtained records supports the conclusion that Mr. Black may possess relevant information. The document specifies a date and time for interview testimony and asks recipient counsel to coordinate with Majority staff. It cites House Rule X as legal authority for broad committee investigations and includes Ranking Member Robert Garcia on the cc line, consistent with formal committee communications. In archive context, this record is significant because it reflects a formal move from document production toward live witness questioning and preserves the Committee's stated rationale in a primary-source format.
