Washington — The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted Thursday to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony as part of its investigation into the federal government’s handling of the case against convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The panel approved a motion from Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, to subpoena Bondi, with several Republicans joining with Democratic members in support of the bid.
The Oversight Committee had issued a subpoena to the Justice Department for documents last August. Legislation passed with bipartisan support from Congress last year, which was signed by President Trump in November, also required the Justice Department to disclose all material from its investigation into Epstein. Millions of records were made public as a result of the law, with the last tranche of documents released in late January.
