Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will not appear for a deposition before the House Oversight Committee.
“The Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on April 14 for a deposition since she is no longer attorney general and was subpoenaed in her capacity as attorney general,” a spokeswoman said. “The Committee will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.”
The House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to Bondi in March regarding possible mismanagement of the Epstein files.
“The Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) wrote. “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.”
The deposition is scheduled for April 14.
Bondi was removed from her position last week. President Trump confirmed the transition in a statement on Truth Social. “Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,” he wrote. “Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.”
“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
