Bondi Subpoenaed By GOP Oversight Chair Over Epstein

House Oversight Chair James Comer issued a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi Tuesday over possible mismanagement of the federal government’s handing of the Epstein files.

In a letter to Bondi, Comer raised concerns over the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) compliance with a law passed by Congress last year forcing the release of all the files. The move comes a month after five House Republicans on House Oversight joined their Democratic colleagues in calling Bondi to testify in front of the committee.

The deposition is scheduled for April 14, 2026.

“As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts,” Comer wrote in his letter.

The department has stalled in releasing the files  — which were ordered to be released within 30 days of the law’s passage — prompting Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna considered holding Bondi in inherent contempt of Congress. Khanna also floated the possibility of impeaching Bondi over the mishandling of the files.
