Bondi Subpoenaed Over Epstein Files Transparency

0:00Hey, it's Cory, with the story with entertainment and celebrity news today. Your daily pop culture update, Attorney General Pam Bondi received a subpoena from Congress on Tuesday, March 17, 2026. The move targets the Justice Department's work on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and its associates. Lawmakers won details on how files are being handled under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight Committee led the effort. In his letter, he noted Bondi's direct role in collecting, reviewing, and deciding on file releases. He believes she holds key information about these transparency steps. The Justice Department pushed back hard, calling the subpoena completely unnecessary. Officials pointed out they've already invited lawmakers to review unredacted files in person. They added that Bondi has always been ready to meet directly with Congress members. Critics aren't letting up though. They claim the department is overdoing redactions on some documents and withholding others entirely.
