Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), stated that "criminal abuses" are occurring and that Wall Street titan Leon Black "must be held in contempt of Congress." Black has refused to appear for a deposition related to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and has sued the committee to block subpoenas. Garcia believes Black provided $180 million to Epstein and is involved in abuse of women, stating that DOJ intervention is necessary.
