16 Sept 2026 Epstein files updates ▫️KATIE PHANG Counts 3,437 VOLUMES Of ILLEGAL REDACTIONS https://youtu.be/JU6HbYODx8o (VIDEO) ▫️Epstein-connected billionaire Leon Black held in contempt of Congress A bipartisan group of lawmakers has voted unanimously to hold a key ally of convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein in contempt of Congress. The Apollo Global Management co-founder, who appears in the Epstein Files more than 300 times, paid the disgraced financier over $150 million for what he called 'tax and estate planning' and more than $180 million in total, money Democrats on the committee say was 'used to traffic women and children.' James Comer, a Kentucky Republican who leads the House Oversight Committee, told reporters outside of the Capitol Hill Club on Tuesday morning: 'We've tried every way in the world to get him in...and he refused to show.' We're going to treat him just like we've treated everyone else that defied a lawful congressional subpoena,' he added a few hours ahead of the vote. Black sat for a voluntary interview in the spring but refused to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements tied to Epstein. He then skipped a July 16 deposition and a rescheduled September 3 appearance, and sued the committee instead. https://www.dailymail.com/galleries/article-16136391/Epstein-connected-billionaire-Leon-Black-held-contempt-Congress.html ⚠️ (Appearing in the documents does not imply criminal wrongdoing, and several people mentioned in previous releases have denied wrongdoing related to Epstein.
