WASHINGTON — Congressional lawmakers approved a subpoena Wednesday demanding Attorney General Pam Bondi appear before the House Oversight Committee to discuss how the Justice Department has managed documents from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case.
The subpoena received bipartisan backing, with five Republican members joining Democrats in supporting the measure introduced by South Carolina GOP Representative Nancy Mace. The vote demonstrates ongoing congressional dissatisfaction with how the department has reviewed and released records concerning the convicted financier.
The Justice Department declined to provide immediate response regarding the congressional subpoena.
The committee has been actively pursuing testimony related to Epstein connections, recently conducting depositions with former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The lawmakers questioned the former Democratic president about his associations with Epstein dating back over twenty years.
