politicsApr 8, 202681,296

Pam Bondi declined to appear next week for a House Oversight deposition on the Justice Department's handling of Jeffrey Epstein files. The Justice Department told the committee it will not compel her testimony because she is no longer the U.S. attorney general. Lawmakers say Bondi attempted to back out and warned they could pursue contempt charges. The dispute matters because Congress is seeking accountability for how prosecutors handled Epstein and potential misconduct at the Justice Department.
