Bondi subpoena tests limits of Epstein probe oversight

The House Oversight Committee voted along party lines to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi for sworn, closed-door testimony about how the Justice Department has handled the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, with Rep. Nancy Mace leading the effort and five Republicans joining Democrats. Bondi could be compelled to answer more directly than in her February testimony and may face contempt if she refuses to appear, signaling ongoing GOP scrutiny of the Epstein case and the Trump administration’s handling of it.
