Jeffrey Epstein Investigation

The House Oversight Committee voted 24–19 to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein files — a bipartisan move in which five Republicans (Nancy Mace, Tim Burchett, Michael Cloud, Lauren Boebert and Scott Perry) joined Democrats after citing missed deadlines under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, phased releases and the removal of previously posted documents, and after Bondi offered only an in‑house DOJ briefing. Meanwhile Democrats have escalated pressure — Rep. Shri Thanedar filed three articles of impeachment accusing Bondi of obstruction of Congress, dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice — and committee members say they remain skeptical DOJ or Bondi will fully account for withheld materials as additional witnesses (including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick) are sought.
