House votes to hold Leon Black in contempt over Epstein subpoenas refusal

Billionaire has refused to comply with subpoenas from House oversight committee as part of Epstein inquiry

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to hold billionaire investor Leon Black in contempt of Congress over his refusal to comply with subpoenas issued to him by the House oversight committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

The action came a day after the committee voted unanimously to recommend that the House hold Black in contempt. Wednesday’s House vote passed under unanimous consent, meaning there was not a formal roll call, but no member objected to the contempt resolution.
