Pam Bondi Refuses Congressional Deposition on Epstein Files
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi failed to appear for her April 14, 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee, defying a bipartisan subpoena to testify on the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. The DOJ argued the subpoena is moot because Bondi was fired on April 2 and no longer holds the office. Lawmakers from both parties disagree — the subpoena named Bondi personally, not by title. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) is pursuing contempt charges, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) pressed Chairman Comer to enforce the subpoena, and Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) moved to hold Bondi in contempt. Comer told reporters "we'll talk about it."
