Yes. On September 16, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to find Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black in contempt of Congress and refer the case to the Justice Department after he declined to comply with subpoenas tied to a House Oversight Committee probe into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor that can carry up to a year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000. The Justice Department said the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia would review the referral carefully. Black’s lawyers said he had already cooperated and that the committee was seeking information that does not exist.
