House Oversight Chair James Comer<\/a> (R-Ky.) issued a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday, demanding she testify before lawmakers over her handling of the Epstein files.<\/p>\n

The move came after five Republicans on the committee joined their Democratic colleagues in supporting Rep. Nancy Mace<\/a>\u2019s (R-S.C.) motion to call on Bondi to testify<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

In a letter to Bondi<\/a>, Comer wrote that \u201cthe Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice\u2019s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates\u201d and its compliance with a law passed by Congress last year compelling the DOJ to release the documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department\u2019s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Comer\u2019s committee has subpoenaed former President Bill Clinton<\/a> and former first lady Hillary Clinton<\/a> as a part of its ongoing investigation into Epstein, as well as other influential individuals named in the files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
