TL;DR

The House voted to hold former Apollo Global Management CEO Leon Black in contempt of Congress for defying Epstein-related subpoenas, setting the stage for a DOJ criminal referral after a 41-0 committee vote and unanimous House action; Black did not appear for a deposition and provided only one NDA while withholding others, and he has challenged the subpoenas in court. The DOJ will review the referral and could prosecute, with contempt carrying potential penalties of up to a year in prison if convicted.
