House Oversight Committee recommends holding Leon Black in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas in Epstein probe
The House Oversight Committee voted 41-0 to recommend holding billionaire investor Leon Black in contempt of Congress after he failed to comply with subpoenas related to its Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management, walked out of a voluntary interview in June and filed a lawsuit challenging the subpoenas instead of appearing in September. The contempt resolution now advances to the full House for a vote.
