House Oversight panel subpoenas Pam Bondi over Epstein files

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday took the remarkable step of issuing a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi, compelling her to appear to answer questions about the Epstein files.

The resolution to subpoena Bondi was introduced by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and passed in a bipartisan 24-19 vote.

All Democrats present for the committee hearing voted in favor, with Mace and GOP Reps. Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Tim Burchett (Tenn.), Michael Cloud (Texas) and Scott Perry (Pa.) joining their colleagues from across the aisle.

The subpoena of Bondi would bring the highest-level Trump administration official yet before the House panel as it pushes ahead with its review of the files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
