House votes to subpoena AG Bondi over withheld Epstein files, citing noncompliance with transparency law.

The House Oversight Committee voted 24-19 to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, citing failure to fully comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law required full release of files by December 19, 2025, with limited redactions, but only 1-2% have been made public. Critics, including five Republicans, accuse Bondi of contradictory statements and obstructing oversight, particularly regarding the absence of a client list and suppressed FBI interviews. The subpoena seeks her testimony and records on congressional misconduct settlements, reflecting bipartisan concern over transparency and accountability. The DOJ has not responded.
