Breaking: Oversight Committee Chair Comer Formally Subpoenas AG Bondi Over Epstein Files

The fallout continues over the Department of Justice's files regarding the late pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, and questions over whether all those documents have really been released. On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer (KY-01), formally called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to appear before them and answer their questions.

The subpoena asks that she sit for an April 14 deposition:

“The Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote in the cover letter of the subpoena.

“As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts.”

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace (SC-01), who has publicly said she’s a survivor of sexual assault and wants justice for Epstein’s victims, has been a leader in demanding more information, despite Bondi’s assertions that the DOJ has released all the information it can.

In pushing to subpoena Bondi, Mace accused the attorney general of “obfuscating.”

“There’s over 65,000 documents missing, and we know there are more than 2,000 videos that are out there. They’re not giving Congress all the information or all the documents, and they’re obfuscating. And I’d like to ask questions about that in our deposition,” Mace told reporters shortly after the vote.

In March, the committee had previously voted in favor of a motion to move forward with a subpoena, with five Republicans — Mace, Lauren Boebert (CO-04), Tim Burchett (TN-02), Michael Cloud (TX-27), and Scott Perry (PA-10) — voting with all the Democrats to move forward.

"Bondi and Blanche are set for a private briefing with the committee tomorrow. Their formal depositions are scheduled for April 14th."

Wow

Bondi has yet to respond as of this writing.
