Bondi to Testify in House Oversight's Epstein Probe Next Month as Democrats Threaten Contempt
Lawmakers want her to explain the Justice Department’s handling of the files after Democrats filed contempt charges and Republicans set a May 29 appearance.
- Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will testify before the House Oversight Committee on May 29 regarding her handling of the Epstein files. The committee announced the date Wednesday, following Democrats' contempt proceedings.
- After President Donald Trump fired Bondi earlier this month, the Justice Department argued she could not testify in her official capacity as attorney general. The House Oversight Committee had subpoenaed her in March.
- Democratic committee members filed contempt charges Wednesday, citing Bondi's failure to comply with her subpoena. House Oversight Republicans called the move "theater and completely unnecessary," though they maintained their commitment to secure her testimony.
- California Rep. Robert Garcia stated Bondi possesses "extensive knowledge" about the Trump Administration's handling of the files. The Government Accountability Office is independently probing the Justice Department's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- Representative Garcia has signaled an "aggressive agenda" to subpoena other former officials if Democrats retake the House. White House adviser Stephen Miller and former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are among potential targets.
