Republicans on the House Oversight Committee said Wednesday that former Attorney General Pam Bondi will testify before the panel on May 29 as part of its sprawling investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Bondi, whom Trump fired earlier this month, was scheduled to testify before the committee on April 14, but she skipped the deposition, with the Justice Department arguing that she was subpoenaed in her capacity as attorney general — not in her personal capacity.
The new date for Bondi’s appearance was announced less than an hour after Oversight Democrats introduced a civil contempt resolution against her for skipping the scheduled deposition earlier this month. Like the other witnesses who have sat for depositions related to the Epstein investigation, Bondi’s hearing will be closed.
“Well look at this… 45 minutes after we file contempt charges against Pam Bondi for defying her subpoena to testify, @GOPoversight finally announces a date for her appearance,” Oversight Democrats said in a post on X. “When Democrats fight, we win.”
The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bondi in March to testify about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files and their release. But President Donald Trump fired Bondi as the nation’s top prosecutor on April 2, and the DOJ subsequently said she would not attend the deposition.
