Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is now set to sit for a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on May 29, after initially refusing to comply with a subpoena tied to the investigation into the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Her earlier no-show triggered escalating pressure from lawmakers—particularly Democrats—who moved toward contempt proceedings, arguing that she had defied Congress and was avoiding accountability. That pressure ultimately forced a reversal, with Bondi agreeing to testify despite prior claims from the Justice Department that she was no longer obligated to appear after being removed from her position.

The deposition centers on growing bipartisan concerns over how the DOJ managed the release of Epstein-related records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including missed deadlines, controversial redactions, and allegations that sensitive victim information was mishandled while powerful individuals may have been shielded. Bondi’s role in overseeing that process has drawn intense scrutiny, with lawmakers and survivors questioning whether the department fully complied with the law or obscured key details. Her testimony is expected to be a critical moment in the broader congressional probe into whether the government’s handling of the Epstein files reflects incompetence, political maneuvering, or something more deliberate.
