Robert Garcia warned former US Attorney General Pam Bondi to show up to testify for the Jeffrey Epstein investigation at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. If she fails to, he threatened that she could face legal actions by Congress for refusing to cooperate. Following her removal from Trump’s cabinet, the Department of Justice earlier announced that she would not follow the subpoena, as she’s no longer the AG.
Robert Garcia sends warning to Pam Bondi
Robert Garcia took to X (formerly Twitter) to send a warning to Pam Bondi to show up before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, despite her not being the attorney general anymore. He wrote, “Our bipartisan subpoena was very clear: Pam Bondi is supposed to testify tomorrow, whether she’s the AG or not.” Threatening to take legal actions, Garcia added, “If she doesn’t show up, she will face contempt.”
James Comer, the Republican chairman, sent a letter earlier to Bondi to be present before the committee to address certain questions around the handling of the investigation into Epstein and his associates and whether it followed the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
He said, ” As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts.”
The subpoena came before Trump announced removing Bondi from his cabinet and replacing her with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. In a Truth Social post, Trump praised Bondi and revealed that she will be transitioning into a new role in the private sector. He didn’t exactly disclose any details on the role, revealing that he’ll announce it at a later date.
“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900,” he stated, appreciating her services at his cabinet.
