Bondi Skips Epstein Depo, Oversight Heats Up

0:00On April 8th, the Justice Department just told the House Oversight Committee that former Attorney General Pam Bondai won't show up for her deposition. On April 14th, they say this appena targeted her specifically in her role as top cop, and since President Trump fired her last week, she's off the hook. This all stems from a subpoena earlier this year, over possible mismanagement in the Justice Department's probe into Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender. Last November, Trump signed a law forcing the release of all Epstein investigation files, putting Bondai right in the spotlight for overseeing that process. Committee members from both sides are fired up and pushing back hard. Republican Nancy Mace says ditching the AG job doesn't wipe out Bondai's duty to testify, and she's calling on Chairman James Comer to back that up. Publicly. Democrat Robert Garcia agrees, demanding she appear ASAP or face contempt charges. Bondai hasn't said a word yet, but the committee's not slowing down.

With pressure mounting across the aisle to drop those Epstein docs, this showdown could drag on, keeping the oversight heat turned all the way up. I'm Cory with the story.
