Bondi Refuses to Appear for Deposition Despite Subpoena in Epstein Investigation (4/9/26)

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will not appear for a scheduled House Oversight Committee deposition related to the government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, despite being subpoenaed. According to the Justice Department, the subpoena was issued to Bondi in her official capacity as attorney general, and because she no longer holds that position, she is not obligated to testify. DOJ officials formally asked the committee to withdraw the subpoena, arguing that she cannot testify in a role she no longer occupies.

However, lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee are pushing back, insisting the subpoena applies to Bondi personally and remains valid regardless of her employment status. Members of both parties have emphasized that her testimony is critical to understanding the DOJ’s handling and release of Epstein-related files, which have faced heavy criticism over delays, redactions, and potential mishandling of sensitive information. Some lawmakers have warned that if Bondi refuses to comply, she could face contempt of Congress proceedings, while Epstein survivors have also urged that her testimony move forward without further delay.
