DOJ recently stated that Pam Bondi will not participate in the deposition regarding the Epstein Files, scheduled for next week. The deposition is taking place regarding the Justice Department’s handling of the files and investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. This statement from the DOJ comes after Bondi was fired by Donald Trump as the Attorney General.
DOJ says Pam Bondi will not testify next week
Former US AG Pam Bondi will not appear before the House Oversight Committee for a deposition regarding the Epstein Files on April 14. The decision was taken by the Department of Justice.
According to a report by the Guardian, a representative of the House Oversight Committee revealed the reason behind her exclusion and conveyed, “The Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on 14 April for a deposition since she is no longer attorney general and was subpoenaed in her capacity as attorney general. The committee will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.”
Assistant Attorney General Patrick Davis also shared a letter with James Comer in which he made the same declaration that Bondi will not appear to testify. He also requested Comer to “confirm that the subpoena is withdrawn.”
Prior to getting fired as the Attorney General by Donald Trump, Comer wrote a subpoena letter to Bondi in March, asserting, “The Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.”
Trump posted on Truth Social at the start of April, announcing that Bondi would step down as AG to take a “new job in the private sector.” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche took over her place as the acting AG.
