华盛顿讯——众议院全票通过决议，认定亿万富翁投资者莱昂·布莱克藐视国会，因其拒绝配合国会针对已故杰弗里·爱泼斯坦展开的调查所发出的传票。
就在众议院监督委员会以41票全票赞成建议认定布莱克藐视国会的次日，该决议经一致同意表决通过。
此案目前已移交司法部，考虑是否提起公诉。
布莱克是这名已定罪性犯罪者的前商业伙伴，他未遵守传票要求，于9月3日出席委员会听证会并提交保密协议相关文件。布莱克已在华盛顿联邦法院提起诉讼，对传票的合法性提出质疑。
“无人能凌驾于法律之上。莱昂·布莱克无视了两张传票，美国众议院迅速采取行动，认定其藐视国会。在调查联邦政府处理杰弗里·爱泼斯坦和吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦刑事案件的过程中，我们将继续为美国民众寻求透明度，为受害者寻求正义。”该委员会主席、肯塔基州共和党众议员詹姆斯·科默在一份声明中说道。
委员会资深成员、加州民主党众议员罗伯特·加西亚称此次表决是“迈向正义与问责的重要一步”。
布莱克的律师团队称该行动“令人愤慨”，并表示众议院“仓促推进了此次调查的每一个阶段”。

“委员会始终坚持搜寻根本不存在的信息。他们试图询问布莱克50年职业生涯中与商业伙伴签订的每一份保密协议，甚至涉及他从未谋面的个人。这太荒谬了。他们甚至要求他提供社交圈中签订过保密协议的人员名单。”律师苏珊·埃斯特里奇和亚伦·卡特勒在一份声明中说道。

Washington — The House unanimously agreed to hold billionaire investor Leon Black in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas as part of lawmakers’ investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein.
The measure was passed by unanimous consent a day after the House Oversight Committee voted 41-0 to recommend holding him in contempt.
The matter now heads to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.
Black, a former business associate of the convicted sex offender, did not comply with subpoenas to appear before the committee on Sept. 3 and produce nondisclosure agreements.Black filed a lawsuit in D.C. federal court challenging the validity of the subpoenas.
“No one is above the law. Leon Black defied two subpoenas, and the U.S. House of Representatives acted swiftly to find him in contempt of Congress. 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,” GOP Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the committee’s chairman, said in a statement.
Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the committee’s ranking member, called the vote “an important step towards justice and accountability.”
Attorneys for Black called the action “outrageous” and said the House “has rushed through every stage of this inquiry.”

“The Committee has continued to insist on looking for information that does not exist. They are looking to ask questions about every NDA Mr. Black ever signed including with business partners over his 50 year career and also with individuals who he never met. This is absurd. They even asked him to give the names of individuals in his social circle who have NDA’s,” attorneys Susan Estrich and Aaron Cutler said in a statement.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
