Newly released transcripts reveal the panicked words billionaire Leon Black hurled at the House Oversight Committee before fleeing a transcribed interview on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last month, ABC News reported Friday.<\/p>\n

Black repeatedly invoked attorney-client privilege to dodge questions about nondisclosure agreements and forced committee members to issue subpoenas, ABC News confirmed Friday, then revealed his words. <\/p>\n

“I’m not here to talk about confidential NDAs,” Black said. “I’m not here to talk about who has NDAs.”<\/p>\n

The pair’s relationship began in the mid-1990s and proved lucrative for Epstein, who took in more than $170 million for purported “tax and estate planning advice,” according to ABC News’ review of Senate Finance Committee records.<\/p>\n

During the interview, Black acknowledged discussing at least one NDA with Epstein, though he insisted the deceased sex offender played no advisory role in its creation, according to ABC News.<\/p>\n

Black reportedly said he agreed to pay one woman more than $21 million over 15 years after she allegedly “blackmailed and extorted” him. <\/p>\n

According to ABC News, Black said he made Epstein aware of the agreement and payments because Epstein helped manage his finances.<\/p>\n

“He was not my NDA adviser,” Black said, according to the transcript. Black also denied being a close friend of Epstein’s, ABC News reported.<\/p>\n

“Friendship is an amorphous term,” he reportedly said. “This is somebody who knew intimately the goings on in my family tax and estate planning entities. It’s also something where, as I mentioned, I’d go over and meet his friends. I know there are emails where he claims that we’re best friends. We were never best friends.”<\/p>\n

Black’s attorney has confirmed he’ll appear for a Sept. 3 deposition and turn over NDAs sometime next week, a House Oversight Committee spokesperson told ABC News.<\/p>\n
