HRES 1543 United States House · 119th Congress

Recommending that the House of Representatives find Leon D. Black in contempt of Congress for refusal to comply with subpoenas duly issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

This resolution recommends that the U.S. House of Representatives find Leon D. Black in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with two subpoenas issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on June 26, 2026. The specific failures cited are his refusal to appear for a deposition and his failure to produce requested documents. If adopted, the Speaker of the House would certify these findings to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, enabling federal criminal prosecution under existing law. Additionally, the resolution directs the Speaker to take all other appropriate actions necessary to enforce the subpoenas.
