House holds Leon Black in contempt in Epstein probe
The House approved by unanimous consent a resolution holding billionaire Leon Black in contempt of Congress after lawmakers said he did not comply with subpoenas in their Epstein-related investigation. AP reports that the matter was referred to the Justice Department. The House vote is a congressional enforcement step, not a criminal conviction or a verdict on the underlying Epstein allegations or on Black's broader conduct.
House contempt resolution approved; referral sent to DOJ, with any prosecution or court outcome still separate
