Use House Oversight Committee questioning to seek on-the-record answers about Leon Black's financial connections to foreign governments and possible foreign backing of Jeffrey Epstein's operation, as well as related answers about Todd Blanche's role in the Epstein investigation.

"I do want to ask him, on the record, what connections his financial assets might have had with foreign governments. One of the things that's been raised a lot is that Jeffrey Epstein may have been backed by foreign governments. No one would know better than Leon Black, who basically was funding this operation." ... "It sure looks like Todd Blanche engineered that, but we want to get those answers on the record."

In a CNN interview about House Oversight Committee interviews related to Jeffrey Epstein, Min said he wanted to ask Leon Black on the record about financial ties to foreign governments and said the committee wanted answers on the record about Todd Blanche's role.

Min's official House page lists him on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, giving him the committee role needed to question Epstein-related witnesses during the 119th Congress.

Establishes that Min has the relevant House Oversight seat during his current federal term, but does not itself prove he asked the specific Black/Blanche questions.

Wyden sent Comer and Garcia suggested lines of inquiry before Black's planned House Oversight deposition, citing Black's $170 million in payments to Epstein, USVI settlement facts, possible Epstein middleman payments, and contacts with Russian government officials.

Official Senate Finance material confirms that the precise subject matter for questioning Black, including possible funding of Epstein's operation and foreign-government-linked issues, was placed before House Oversight just before the lookback window. It does not show Min personally asked those questions.

AP reported that House Oversight subpoenaed Leon Black after lawmakers said he refused some questions in a closed-door interview; Democrats had an hour of questioning, and a sworn deposition was set for July 16. AP also reported Comer had been in contact with DOJ about Todd Blanche appearing for questioning.

Shows concrete House Oversight action within the lookback window and a blocked attempt to get answers from Black, plus an unresolved path toward Blanche questioning. It does not confirm Min personally asked the specified foreign-government or Blanche questions.

Business Insider reported Comer said the committee wanted answers on whether Epstein was involved in writing or funding NDAs, and that the July 16 deposition would require Black to answer questions even if an NDA applied.

Corroborates that Oversight questioning sought on-record answers about Epstein's role in Black-related payments or settlements, but the reported focus was NDAs and not specifically Min's foreign-government line of questioning.

The Guardian reported Black's closed-door testimony ended abruptly after he refused NDA questions, that two subpoenas followed, and that a transcript was expected later.

Supports a still-unresolved status for full public, on-the-record answers as of July 10, 2026: Black had not answered key questions and the transcript/follow-up deposition were still pending.

The Daily Beast reported that Min questioned why DOJ attorneys were involved in Bondi's voluntary House Oversight interview, while Bondi placed document-review responsibility on Todd Blanche and Democrats pushed to bring Blanche before the committee.

Older than the 30-day lookback, but it directly links Min to Oversight questioning about DOJ involvement and Blanche's role in the Epstein files matter. It supports partial effort, not completed delivery of Blanche answers.
