House Oversight Committee votes to subpoena AG Pam Bondi in Epstein probe amid transparency concerns
The House Oversight Committee voted 24-19 to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Department of Justice’s handling of Epstein files. Five Republicans joined Democrats, citing lack of transparency despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) mandating full disclosure.
The DOJ claims to have released 3 million pages, but lawmakers allege critical evidence—videos, audio logs and interviews—remains missing or censored. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called it “one of the greatest cover-ups in American history.”
Critics argue the DOJ is shielding powerful figures while failing to protect victims’ identities. Deputy AG Todd Blanche admitted withholding 3 million additional documents, citing legal privileges and foreign-language barriers—a claim lawmakers dispute.
Bondi previously released binders of Epstein materials to influencers, which was dismissed as a “publicity stunt.” She defended the DOJ’s efforts, but survivors and lawmakers remain skeptical, especially after reports of 47,635 files temporarily “offline” for redaction.
The Oversight Committee is also targeting Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Bill Gates and others for questioning. Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a minimum-security prison raises further suspicions. No date set for Bondi’s deposition, but video testimony will eventually be made public.
