Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., a ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tore into billionaire investor Leon Black, telling MS NOW’s Alex Witt that the longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate won’t be able to “weasel his way out” of answering the panel’s questions about his relationship with the late convicted sex offender.
