DOJ Says House Panel's Subpoena Of Bondi In Epstein Probe Is 'Completely Unnecessary
Topline
Attorney General Pam Bondi was subpoenaed Tuesday in the House Oversight Committees investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the release of the Epstein files, with the Justice Department calling the move completely unnecessary as the panel seeks testimony from Bondi.
Key Facts
The subpoena says the committee is reviewing possible mismanagement of the governments investigation into Epstein as Bondi and the Trump administration have been repeatedly criticized for the delayed and heavily redacted rollout of the Epstein files.
Bondi has been compelled to testify on April 14 but has not publicly commented on the subpoena or whether she intends to challenge it.
A Justice Department spokesperson told Forbes the subpoena is completely unnecessary, saying Bondi has made herself available to speak with Congress about the release of the Epstein files and that the department offered to brief the committee Wednesday.
