- The House Oversight Committee formally subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi to answer questions regarding her department's handling of files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
- House Oversight Chair James Comer issued the subpoena, requiring Bondi to appear for a deposition on April 14, citing concerns about possible mismanagement of the Epstein investigation.
- The committee aims to use the probe's results to inform legislative solutions for combating sex trafficking and reforming non-prosecution agreements in sex crime investigations.
- A Department of Justice spokesperson called the subpoena "completely unnecessary," stating that lawmakers have been invited to view unredacted files and Bondi has always been available to speak with Congress.
- Bondi has faced mounting backlash for months over the release of Epstein-related documents, with critics complaining about excessive redactions and demanding greater transparency.
