Washington, D.C. — Attorney General Pam Bondi has been subpoenaed by a House committee investigating the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, escalating scrutiny over the release of sensitive records tied to the convicted sex offender.
The Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee ordered Bondi to appear for a deposition on April 14 following a bipartisan vote that included support from several Republicans. Lawmakers say they are seeking answers about how the Department of Justice managed millions of files connected to Epstein and whether it complied with transparency requirements under federal law.
Committee Chairman James Comer said Bondi is “directly responsible” for overseeing the review and release of the Epstein-related documents, arguing she has critical insight into the process. The subpoena reflects growing frustration among lawmakers and parts of the public, including some within Trump’s political base, over concerns about redactions and whether key materials have been withheld.
The Justice Department dismissed the subpoena as “completely unnecessary,” noting that lawmakers have been invited to review unredacted files and that Bondi has remained available for briefings. Officials maintain the department acted diligently and deny allegations of improper redactions or concealment.
