Getty ImagesThe US House of Representatives has voted to hold billionaire Leon Black in contempt of Congress for defying legal summons related to its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Black – who had business ties to Epstein – did not comply with a subpoena ordering him to appear before the House Oversight Committee earlier this month and share documents related to Epstein.
The billionaire has filed a legal challenge to the subpoenas.
In a statement after the House voted to hold Black in contempt of Congress, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said: “No one is above the law.”
“We will continue to seek transparency for the American people and justice for survivors.”
