The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi for a deposition on the Department of Justice’s handling of its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, and its compliance with a law requiring all documents related to the notorious sex offender to be made public.
The 24-19 vote by the committee came after growing criticism of the DOJ for failing to release all of the Epstein files, and reports that it has removed from public view tens of thousands of documents that previously were made public.
The motion to subpoena Bondi was introduced by Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, who blasted the DOJ earlier Wednesday over its suppression of many Epstein files.
“AG Bondi claims the DOJ has released all of the Epstein files. The record is clear: they have not,” Mace said in a post on X.
“The Epstein case is one of the greatest cover-ups in American history,” Mace wrote.
