Billionaire investor tied to Epstein tells Congress he did not abuse women — nor did he know what Epstein had done

Billionaire investor Leon Black appeared before Congress to assert that he was unaware of the full extent of Jeffrey Epstein's illegal activities, including any abusive behavior, and denied ever abusing women or having any sexual relations with minors. This testimony comes amid scrutiny over Black's ties to Epstein, which have raised questions about his knowledge and involvement in Epstein's notorious network. The significance of Black's statements lies in the broader context of ongoing investigations into Epstein's activities and the individuals associated with him, shedding light on the complex web of relationships and potential complicity.
