US House panel votes to hold Leon Black in contempt over Epstein subpoena

A US House panel has unanimously voted to hold billionaire Leon Black in contempt of Congress. This resolution follows Black's failure to comply with a subpoena related to his connections with convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein. The bipartisan measure now advances to the full chamber for further action. As a result of these proceedings, the key ally of Epstein could potentially face jail time for his refusal to cooperate with the legislative body's official investigation.
