Congressional Oversight and DOJ

House Oversight has subpoenaed former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department’s missed deadline for releasing Jeffrey Epstein records, a move that followed a formal motion by Rep. Nancy Mace that passed with five Republicans and all Democrats on the committee. The DOJ called the subpoena unnecessary, saying lawmakers have been invited to view unredacted files and that Bondi has been available; Bondi’s deposition is set for April 14 and she and Deputy AG Todd Blanche will give a closed‑door briefing, even as the DOJ’s plan for a rolling release of records appears to conflict with a law requiring full release of unclassified records by Dec. 19, 2025, and after several high‑profile figures including Bill and Hillary Clinton have already testified.
