- Black filed in federal court in the District of Columbia, seeking an injunction against enforcement of the subpoenas.
- In June, Black gave a transcribed interview but declined to answer questions from the committee.
- The subpoenas issued in June sought his deposition and purported nondisclosure agreements discussed by Epstein survivors.
- After Black missed the deposition, James Comer signaled possible contempt proceedings while seeking consensus and reviewing legal options.
The Committee is on a fishing expedition that oversteps its authority and completely ignores its responsibility.— Susan Estrich, Black's attorney, said, commenting on the committee's investigation and the accusation of an overreach.
