A House committee has voted unanimously to hold Leon Black in contempt of Congress. A contempt of Congress finding is the formal charge that a person refused to obey a subpoena, Congress's legal demand for testimony or documents. The committee passed the resolution and sent it to the full House for a floor vote.
The proceeding stems from a subpoena tied to the congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Black was subpoenaed as part of that inquiry and did not comply, which prompted the contempt resolution.
No member of the panel voted against the measure. The resolution now moves to the full chamber.
