The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to hold a prominent figure in contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with subpoenas related to Jeffrey Epstein’s legal records.

Legal experts suggest the contempt citation could escalate into a broader dispute over executive privilege and congressional oversight. The case raises fresh questions about accountability in high-profile cases involving influential figures.
