AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution finds Leon D. Black in contempt of Congress for not complying with two subpoenas issued to him on June 26, 2026, by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. One subpoena required him to appear for a deposition, and the other required him to produce documents. The resolution directs the Speaker of the House to certify the committee's report on his refusal to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia so he can be proceeded against as provided by law. It also directs the Speaker to take other appropriate action to enforce the subpoenas.
