House holds billionaire Leon Black in contempt of Congress

The House of Representatives has held billionaire Leon Black in contempt of Congress. This decision follows Black's refusal to comply with subpoenas and provide additional information regarding his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. As the co-founder of Apollo Global Management, Black previously employed Epstein as a wealth adviser. The motion was approved on Wednesday after Black declined to provide the requested testimony to one of the lower chamber's most powerful committees during the ongoing investigation.
