Pam Bondi sets new date to testify before Congress on Epstein files

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to testify before Congress about the Epstein files on May 29 after she failed to appear for a previously scheduled deposition. 

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee confirmed the appearance, an arrangement made after discussions with Bondi’s personal attorney. 

Bondi was subpoenaed to testify after a surprise motion in March by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who gained the support of four GOP colleagues and all Democrats on the panel. 

The news came as Democrats on the committee introduced a resolution to hold Bondi in contempt.  

“Pam Bondi has illegally defied our committee, skipped her deposition, and has refused to cooperate. We have introduced a contempt resolution, to hold her accountable. Bondi has extensive personal knowledge about the Trump Administration’s handling of the Epstein files, and regardless of her job title, her testimony and cooperation are crucial,” ranking member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said in a statement.

He went on to accuse Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) of “trying to run out the clock” on Bondi.
