US Attorney General Bondi formally summoned to Congress in Epstein case

The House Oversight Committee has issued a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi, requiring her to testify about the Justice Department's management of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and document releases. The Republican-led committee is examining potential mismanagement after the department released millions of Epstein investigation files pursuant to a transparency law signed by President Trump, but faced criticism from both parties for failing to properly redact victim identities while protecting others. The Justice Department maintains the subpoena is unnecessary, noting they have invited lawmakers to view unredacted files and that Bondi remains available to speak with Congress members.
