Billionaire Leon Black is facing a contempt charge for failing to comply with a subpoena. The House Oversight Committee voted unanimously to recommend the charge after Black refused to appear for a sworn deposition and produce requested documents. Black had sued the panel to block the subpoenas.

The investigation is related to Jeffrey Epstein, and lawmakers claim Black's former private equity firm funneled millions to Epstein. The committee's chairman, Rep. James Comer, criticized Black for delaying answers through litigation.

Further details on the case and the committee's actions are available. The recommendation for a contempt charge is the latest development in the ongoing investigation.
