March 4 (UPI) -- The House Oversight Committee voted Wednesday to subpoena U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify on the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Five Republicans joined the Democrats on the committee voting in favor of the subpoena by a 24-19 count.
The vote was forced by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., during a full committee business meeting that was not related to the Epstein investigation. Republicans joining Mace in voting for the subpoena were Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., Scott Perry, R-Pa., and Michael Cloud, R-Texas.
"AG Bondi claims the DOJ has released all of the Epstein Files," Mace posted on social media. "The record is clear: they have not."
Potential dates for Bondi's testimony have not been announced.
