BREAKING: YES! Republican Oversight Chair James Comer hits Pam Bondi with a binding subpoena over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal — forcing her to testify under oath about her mishandling of the files.
This is EXACTLY what we've all been demanding...
“As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s 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,” Comer wrote.
The subpoena comes after five Republicans on the Oversight Committee crossed the aisle to join with Democrats and their colleague Rep. Nancy Mace in her call for Bondi to testify.
Comer wrote that “the Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates” and in particular about the DOJ's compliance (or lack thereof) with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Bondi's deposition is now set for April 14th and the MAGA Justice Department is predictably melting down over it.
“This subpoena is completely unnecessary,” a DOJ spokesperson told CNBC. “Lawmakers have been invited to view the unredacted files for themselves at the Department of Justice, and the Attorney General has always made herself available to speak directly with members of Congress."
“She continues to have calls and meetings with members of Congress on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which is why the Department offered to brief the committee tomorrow. As always, we look forward to continuing to provide policymakers with the facts," they added.
In reality, Bondi is at the heart of a blatant coverup to obscure the role that Trump played in Epstein's predations as well as the role of powerful people within the White House orbit. The files have not been released in full and those that have been released include countless improper redactions.
Even so, the files that have been released are stomach-churning and include allegations of sexual abuse and rape against Trump. One shudders to imagine what's in the files that Bondi and her DOJ are still refusing to release.
The best part about this deposition is that it carries the weight of perjury. If Bondi lies to protect Trump, she could end up behind bars.
