Pam Bondi Faces Criticism for Avoiding House Deposition on Epstein Files
Pam Bondi, the recently dismissed attorney general, is under scrutiny for not appearing before the House Oversight Committee to testify about the Department of Justice's handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files. The Department of Justice informed the committee that Bondi would not comply with the subpoena, citing her dismissal by President Trump as the reason. Survivors of Epstein's crimes, represented by the coalition World Without Exploitation, demand transparency and accountability from Bondi, criticizing the DOJ for delays and redactions in the release of Epstein files. Lawmakers, including Democrat Robert Garcia and Republican Nancy Mace, insist that Bondi's obligation to testify remains, with potential contempt of Congress charges looming if she continues to defy the subpoena.
