Comer Subpoenas Bondi Over Epstein Files

The session will probe the Justice Department's management of records tied to Jeffrey Epstein. This step ramps up a bipartisan clash over whether the department fully followed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The committee greenlit the move to dig into potential mishandling of the Epstein and Galein Maxwell probes, plus Epstein's death and custody. Lawmakers from both parties have slammed the slow rollout and heavy redactions in disclosures. Critics say key files are still missing, despite the department's offers for lawmakers to review unredacted materials and hold briefings. The Justice Department pushed back, calling the subpoena unneeded since Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche are set for a private committee briefing on Wednesday. Back in late January, they released over 3 million more pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000
