House Subpoenas Pam Bondi Over Jeffrey Epstein Files

The United States===United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has formally subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify on April 14 regarding the United States===United States Department of Justice's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The committee, led by Chair James Comer and with support from Rep. Nancy Mace, is probing alleged mismanagement, missing documents, and redaction errors in the release of files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Pam Bondi is accused of obfuscating and leading a cover-up, while the United States===United States Department of Justice maintains the subpoena is unnecessary and that lawmakers have been offered access to unredacted files. The investigation also covers the circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein's death, the extent of his sex-trafficking rings, and how he and Ghislaine Maxwell sought to protect their activities. Sponsors of the Act, Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, have also raised concerns about redactions.
