A Senate panel on Tuesday revealed a yearlong investigation into Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black's ties to the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, with a focus on $158 million Black allegedly paid Epstein for tax and estate planning services. The probe into Black's tax schemes is one of a series of investigations by the committee into how ultra-wealthy people skirt their tax bills, Wyden's letter said. The committee's latest round of questions are "inappropriately invasive" and potentially overstep the panel's oversight role, Black's memo contended. Overnight, the U.S. Virgin Islands lobbed new accusations against JPMorgan Chase in a lawsuit accusing the bank of enabling Epstein's criminal activity. Both the Virgin Islands and JPMorgan filed motions overnight for partial summary judgment in the lawsuit.
