Pam Bondi subpoenaed over ‘possible mismanagement’ of Jeffrey Epstein probe

A powerful Republican-led House committee subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday to answer questions about “the possible mismanagement” of the Justice Department’s probe into deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote in a letter to Bondi that his panel was also interested in hearing about “the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr. Epstein’s death” as well as investigative materials gathered on his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

“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,” Comer said.

Five Republicans — Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Michael Cloud of Texas, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania — joined 19 Democrats on the Oversight Committee to compel Bondi’s appearance via a motion put forward by Mace March 4.

The Justice Department has released more than 3 million pages of investigative materials on Epstein and Maxwell to the public following the passage of a bill in Congress in November 2025 that mandated their release.

The Epstein Files conspiracy theory is as irrelevant and dead as the paedophile himself, but the pols need it.
