House votes by unanimous consent to hold Leon Black in contempt of Congress
The billionaire investor skipped an Oversight Committee deposition on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Black refused to sit for a deposition or turn over documents under two Oversight Committee subpoenas — one for the deposition, one for Epstein-related documents. The contempt referral passed by unanimous consent, with no member objecting; it now goes to the Justice Department, which decides on its own whether to bring criminal charges.
