美国众议院监督委员会周二以全票结果投票建议对亿万富翁金融家莱昂·布莱克提起藐视国会诉讼。1此举源于布莱克拒绝遵从该委员会关于杰弗里·爱泼斯坦性贩运调查的传票。1传票要求布莱克提供证词并交出保密协议相关文件。1
布莱克对此提出抗辩，声称这些传票"无效"，并已诉诸法律程序寻求阻止其执行。1但委员会主席詹姆斯·科默表示："传票不是建议；它们具有法律效力，需要完全遵从。"1布莱克在爱泼斯坦从事性贩运期间与其保持了多年的密切个人关系。1
The House Oversight Committee voted unanimously on Tuesday to recommend that billionaire financier Leon Black be prosecuted for contempt of Congress 1. The action stems from Black's refusal to comply with subpoenas related to an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities 1.
Black has challenged the validity of the subpoenas, claiming they are "invalid," and filed a lawsuit to block their enforcement 1. However, Committee Chairman James Comer stated that the subpoenas carry legal force and require full compliance, declaring: "Subpoenas are not suggestions; they have the force of law and need to be complied with completely" 1. The subpoenas sought Black's testimony and copies of confidentiality agreements 1.
According to the committee, Black maintained a close personal relationship with Epstein over many years while the latter was engaged in sex trafficking 1.
