"This subpoena is completely unnecessary. 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."
"The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is reviewing the possible mismanagement of the federal government's investigation of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell, the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr. Epstein's death, the operation of sex-trafficking rings and ways for the federal government to effectively combat them, the ways in which Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell sought to curry favor and exercise influence to protect their illegal activities."
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued a subpoena requiring Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Epstein files. The Committee is investigating potential mismanagement of the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, circumstances surrounding Epstein's death, sex-trafficking operations, and possible ethics violations by elected officials. The DOJ responded that the subpoena was unnecessary, noting lawmakers have been invited to view unredacted files at the Department of Justice and Bondi remains available for direct congressional meetings. The DOJ stated it offered to brief the committee and continues providing policymakers with facts regarding the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
