The Republican-led House Oversight Committee voted Wednesday to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony on the department’s handling of records related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The motion to subpoena Bondi passed by a vote of 24-19. Five Republicans voted in favor of the subpoena, including Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., who put forward the motion. The Republicans voting with Mace and the Democrats were: Reps. Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Michael Cloud of Texas, and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“AG Bondi claims the DOJ has released all of the Epstein files. The record is clear: they have not,” Mace wrote in a post on X.
“The Epstein case is one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. His global sex trafficking network is larger than what is being revealed. Three million documents have been released, and we still don’t have the full truth. Videos are missing. Audio is missing. Logs are missing. There are millions more documents out there. We want to know why the DOJ is more focused on shielding the powerful than delivering justice.”
