House panel recommends holding Leon Black in contempt in Epstein probe

The House Oversight Committee voted unanimously in a bipartisan decision to hold Leon Black in contempt of Congress. The co-founder of Apollo Global Management failed to appear for a deposition regarding his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Black defied subpoenas to testify and produce nondisclosure agreements. Lawmakers intend to question the billionaire investor about payments totaling millions of dollars made to the deceased sex offender as part of an ongoing probe into their relationship.
