Congress would move to prosecute Leon D. Black for not obeying subpoenas

Congress would formally find Leon D. Black in contempt for not responding to subpoenas. His case would then go to federal lawyers for possible legal action, aiming to make sure Congress's demands are met.

What Would Change

Today, Leon D. Black has not complied with congressional subpoenas, and Congress has not yet formally declared him in contempt. If this resolution passes, he would be officially found in contempt, and his case would be sent to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia for legal action.
