Pam Bondi testimony to be rescheduled
CNBC • • nation
Key Points:
- Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will not testify on April 14 before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding her and the DOJ's handling of Jeffrey Epstein files, as she was subpoenaed in her official capacity but is no longer AG.
- The committee plans to contact Bondi's lawyer to reschedule her deposition following her recent firing by President Donald Trump on April 2, reportedly due to dissatisfaction with her handling of the Epstein files.
- Bondi and the DOJ have faced significant criticism over their management and partial withholding of Epstein-related documents, despite earlier promises to make the files public after Trump’s anticipated 2025 return to the White House.
- In response to these issues, Congress passed a law mandating the release of Epstein-related documents, which Trump signed, leading the DOJ to release millions of pages, though controversy remains over withheld materials.
- This situation is ongoing, with further updates expected as the committee and Bondi’s legal team discuss next steps.
