"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."
"Democratic members on the panel stormed out of a closed-door briefing with Bondi last month, saying she refused to answer key questions or would not commit to testifying under oath before the committee."
"Rep. Robert Garcia accused Bondi of 'trying to get out of her legal obligation to testify' in a statement on Wednesday and threatened to hold her in contempt of Congress."
"Mace said in a statement on X Wednesday that Bondi 'will still have to appear before the Oversight Committee for a sworn deposition.'"
Pam Bondi, previously ousted as attorney general, will not testify on April 14 due to her current status. The Oversight Committee had voted to subpoena her while she was still in office. Bipartisan support was evident in the motion led by Rep. Nancy Mace. Tensions arose when Democratic members left a briefing, claiming Bondi avoided key questions. Rep. Robert Garcia accused her of evading legal obligations, threatening contempt of Congress, which requires bipartisan support for action.
