Excerpt:
The House approved a resolution Wednesday holding billionaire Leon Blackin contempt of Congress, referring the matter to the Department of Justice after he defied the Oversight Committee’s subpoenas in its investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The action was swift, and without a formal vote, and now leaves it to the Justice Department to decide whether to seek criminal prosecution. Black has refused to respond to the subpoenas’ requests to appear and to turn over any potential nondisclosure agreements involving the investigation into Epstein.
Republicans and Democrats from the Oversight Committee joined in a bipartisan effort to advance the resolution forward.
“No one is above the law,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the Oversight Committee chairman, said in a statement. “We will continue to seek transparency for the American people and justice for survivors in our investigation of the federal government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell criminal cases.”
he knows he’s getting a pardon or the justice dept won’t do anything anyway
Billionaire Leon Black must have really pissed somebody off to get turned into a tiny symbolic gesture that no one is above the law and that Congress deeply cares about justice for pedo victims… in the country where billionaires are certainly above every single law and Congress couldn’t give 2 shits about pedos in the highest levels of government or business.
