The US House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify in a closed-door hearing on April 14 regarding the Department of Justice's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Committee Chair James Comer stated that Bondi, as Attorney General, is directly responsible for overseeing the collection, review, and release of files related to Epstein. The committee believes Bondi possesses valuable insight into these efforts. This follows Bondi's previous testimony before the House Judiciary Committee in February, where she faced questions about the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files. The Department of Justice has not yet commented on the subpoena.
