Key Democrat says Bondi can’t escape Epstein files testimony
Members say Bondi must answer under oath about the Justice Department’s Epstein files, as Republicans and Democrats keep pressing for accountability.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, appointing Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting attorney general while Bondi transitions to an unspecified "important new job in the private sector."
- The House Oversight Committee previously subpoenaed Bondi regarding her handling of Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein, citing heavy redactions and concerns that disclosures exposed victims' identities while protecting powerful individuals.
- Rep. Robert Garcia declared Bondi "will not escape accountability and remains legally obligated to appear before our committee under oath," while Rep. Nancy Mace confirmed her subpoena "still stands."
- Bondi is scheduled to sit for a deposition on April 14 under the subpoena terms, with Rep. Ro Khanna asserting she "must still answer to Congress about the remaining documents."
- Democrats intend to press forward with investigations regardless of Bondi's departure; Garcia confirmed that separate inquiries into former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's conduct will also continue.
