House panel recommends Leon Black be held in contempt over Epstein inquiry
Leon Black defied two subpoenas from the House Oversight Committee, one demanding he appear for a deposition and another demanding he turn over documents.
Comer said he expects a floor vote on the contempt resolution before lawmakers leave Thursday to campaign for the midterms.
Rep. Robert Garcia said holding Leon Black in contempt of Congress is a critical step in the fight for justice for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein.
