Bondi Skips Epstein Deposition, DOJ Cites Role Change

0:00On April 8th, Pam Bondi just dodged a bullet in the House Oversight Committee's probe into Jeffrey Epstein's files. The former attorney general won't show up for her scheduled deposition on April 14th. The Department of Justice says the subpoena targeted her official role, and since she's out of that job now, it doesn't apply. She served as attorney general under President Trump until early April when he shifted her to a new position with no clear explanation. Back in November, a new law demanded the release of Epstein-related documents, but the DOJ didn't deliver, leading to that subpoena. Her replacement, Todd Blanch, now acting attorney general, shrugged it off to reporters, saying, only Trump knows the real reason for the switch up. Bondi's sudden exit has spoke scratching their heads amid this whole transparency push. The committee isn't done yet. They plan to reach out to Bondi's personal lawyers to sort a new deposition date. Officials confirmed this move earlier this week. This Epstein files drama keeps unfolding, with more twists likely as lawmakers press for those long-berry details.
