Pam Bondi subpoenaed over Epstein files release by House committee
AI Summary
Pam Bondi, the US Attorney General, has been subpoenaed by a House committee to answer questions regarding the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and the release of Epstein-related files. The subpoena, issued by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, stems from concerns that the Justice Department improperly withheld or redacted material, potentially violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Lawmakers are also worried about the exposure of survivors' personal information in the released files. The committee seeks Bondi's testimony due to her oversight role in the Justice Department's compliance with the Act. Bondi is requested to appear for a deposition on April 14th. The Justice Department has called the subpoena "completely unnecessary," stating that lawmakers have been invited to view unredacted files and that Bondi has been available to speak with members of Congress.
