Pam Bondi may no longer be the U.S. attorney general, but she’s still on the hook for everything that happened while she was, Democrats say.
After news of Bondi’s firing trickled out Thursday, Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee reupped their commitment to deposing Bondi and forcing her to answer questions about the Justice Department files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as about his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, under oath.
“Attorney General Pam Bondi has been leading a White House cover-up of the Epstein files. She has weaponized the Department of Justice to protect Donald Trump and put survivors in harm’s way by exposing their identities,” said ranking member Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.). “She will not escape accountability and remains legally obligated to appear before our committee under oath.”
Garcia said that “serious” investigations into the conduct of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will also continue.
“If they think we are moving on because they were fired,” said Garcia, “they are gravely mistaken.”
