Axed Attorney General Pam Bondi Reportedly Won’t Be Required to Testify in Epstein Case Despite Subpoena

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi won’t be required to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee in the Jeffrey Epstein probe, according to a committee spokesperson.

“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,” reporter Nicholas Wu shared on X on Wednesday, April 8. “The Committee will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.”

The Department of Justice, under Bondi — who served as Attorney General under President Donald Trump until she was ousted last week — was required to release files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law in November.

After allegedly failing to comply with the law, a subpoena was issued to force Bondi, 60, to testify.

“There’s over 65,000 documents missing, and we know there are more than 2,000 videos that are out there,” Republican Senator Nancy Mace told reporters last month, according to The Hill. “They’re not giving Congress all the information or all the documents, and they’re obfuscating. And I’d like to ask questions about that in our deposition.”

Bondi was transferred to an “important new role” by the president on April 2, though no reason for her removal was given.

“Nobody has any idea why the attorney general is no longer the attorney general and I’m the acting attorney general, except for President Trump,” Bondi’s replacement Todd Blanche told reporters on Tuesday.
