Judge orders billionaire Leon Black to be deposed in lawsuit over Bank of America's role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking.

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff has ordered billionaire Leon Black to be deposed in a civil lawsuit accusing Bank of America of facilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking through suspicious transactions. The hearing, delayed to March 26, will allow both sides to question Black, who denies knowing about Epstein’s crimes despite paying him over $150 million for financial services. The case is part of broader efforts to hold financial institutions accountable, following settlements with JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank. Black is also set to testify before the House Oversight Committee on May 13.
