House Holds Leon Black in Contempt Over Epstein Subpoenas
TL;DR
The House voted unanimously to hold billionaire Leon Black in contempt for defying two congressional subpoenas tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, sending the matter to the DOJ for potential charges—the first contempt ruling in the Oversight Committee’s Epstein probe. The broader Capitol Hill agenda remains crowded, with talks on permitting reform, potential renewal deadlines for Section 702 surveillance, and ongoing debates over AI regulation and committee leadership as lawmakers head toward the midterms.
