The Republican-led House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday. Her deposition is scheduled for April 14, where she will be questioned on the DOJ's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and her compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Donald Trump in November.
The subpoena passed with support from all Democrats and five Republicans.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer stated the panel has questions about the DOJ's investigation into Epstein and his associates. Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche were expected to brief the committee on Wednesday.
Social media reactions ranged from speculation that Bondi might become a witness against Trump to criticism that subpoenas rarely result in consequences. Rep. Nancy Mace, who introduced the subpoena, reportedly plans to go "scorched earth" against Bondi during testimony. Observers questioned whether the hearing would finally reveal the unredacted truth or continue shielding powerful individuals.
