The House of Representatives held billionaire investor Leon Black in contempt of Congress on Wednesday.
The bipartisan move came after Black refused to provide additional information on his relationship with convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. It’s the first time the House has held a witness in the Epstein investigation in contempt.
Black defied two congressional subpoenas issued by the House Oversight Committee, which is looking into his relationship with Epstein.
He did appear for a closed-door, voluntary interview in June with the committee, but he walked out before it ended. Lawmakers said he declined to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements.
The Republican-led committee subpoenaed Black to return for a deposition under oath, and to turn over any nondisclosure agreements he signed, including those he may have signed with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. Instead of complying, Black filed a lawsuit against the committee and its chairman, Rep. James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, accusing them of overstepping their authority.
Just words to prove they’re “doing something”. Nothing will come of this. I’ve lost all hope.
Fucking cocksucker Congress apparently can’t do their Fucking job and the lot of them needs to be removed. This proves Black a Fucking pedophile but so is the president and in America billionaire are above the law.
