Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black is scheduled to be deposed on Thursday by a U.S. House Committee regarding the $158 million in fees he paid to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The deposition stems from an investigation into the financial relationship between Black and Epstein, who was convicted on sex trafficking charges. The quote 'Leon, you hired me to produce a work of art. It was not inexpensive' is attributed to Epstein in connection with the fees. The House Committee is seeking to understand the nature and scope of the payments, which have raised questions about Black's dealings with Epstein. Black has previously acknowledged hiring Epstein for tax and estate planning services but has faced scrutiny over the large sums involved. The deposition marks a significant development in the ongoing congressional probe into Epstein's financial network and his associations with prominent figures.
