House Oversight Refers Leon Black Contempt Case To Full House
The two subpoenas trace to a transcribed interview where Black refused to answer questions, months before he also skipped a rescheduled deposition.
- The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted September 15, 2026, to send a Leon Black contempt resolution to the full House.
- "Subpoenas are not suggestions. They carry the force of law and require full compliance."
- The panel's original subpoenas required a July 16 deposition Black never gave.
Why it matters: A committee vote is a recommendation; only the full House and DOJ can make contempt cost him anything.
