Pam Bondi’s running out of excuses as the Oversight Committee votes to subpoena her in the Epstein case
For months, United States Attorney General Pam Bondi has avoided accountability in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Even when she was summoned last month to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to answer questions related to the case, she deflected, avoided, and sometimes outright refused to answer by remaining silent.
Just a few days after Bondi’s hearing, it was announced that Bondi and the Deputy Attorney General had sent an internal letter to members of Congress, informing them that the Department of Justice would not release any further information related to the Jeffrey Epstein Files. The same message caused many people who had diligently fought for justice for Epstein’s victims to feel betrayed, with many believing Bondi was withholding crucial information. Now, Bondi is being held accountable for her actions or lack thereof in the Epstein investigation, as the Oversight Committee recently voted to subpoena her. This means she will be required to appear before the Oversight Committee in the case. Hopefully, she provides some answers this time, because the last hearing was painful to watch, to say the least.
Pam Bondi subpoenaed in the Epstein case
It seems that Attorney General Pam Bondi will need to develop new deflection tactics. On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee, which has a Republican majority, voted 24-19 to subpoena Bondi for testimony concerning the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Five Republicans, including Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Michael Cloud of Texas, and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, joined Democrats in passing the motion.
Announcing the news on X (formerly Twitter), Representative Nancy Mace said:
Nancy Mace does not want Pam Bondi to discuss stock markets during her hearing
Members of Congress are still reeling from the disastrous nature of Pam Bondi’s Judiciary Committee hearing last month. As mentioned before, during her Oversight of the U.S. Department of Justice hearing on February 11, 2026, Bondi refused to answer any questions and used every method possible to avoid accountability in the Epstein case.
On Wednesday, after it was announced that the Oversight Committee had subpoenaed Bondi to testify about Epstein, Republican Representative Nancy Mace spoke to reporters, making it clear she did not want Bondi to discuss unrelated matters during the hearing. Reflecting on her previous hearing where Bondi repeatedly spoke about stock markets and Trump’s success while being questioned about the Epstein case, Mace said, “I know that Bondi has testified before the Judiciary Committee, but she’s not testified before me or the Oversight Committee…I have a lot more questions, and I don’t expect to be talking about the stock market, so she better not bring those notes when she comes to the Oversight Committee.”
