WASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee won’t be holding a deposition with former Attorney General Pam Bondi this month about her handling of disclosures related to the deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, according to a spokeswoman.
“The Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on April 14 for a deposition since she is no longer Attorney General and was subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General,” the rep for Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said Wednesday.
“The Committee will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.”
The House Oversight Committee won’t be holding a deposition with Pam Bondi this month about her handling of disclosures related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to a spokeswoman. APActing Attorney General Todd Blanche told reporters at DOJ headquarters in Washington, DC, on Tuesday that he and Bondi had already “answered every single question asked” by Oversight panel members “for a couple of hours” on a voluntary basis last month.
“What happens now that she’s the former attorney general, and there’s the subpoena out there, is I think I’ll leave it to Chairman Comer and others to figure out,” he said.
The Oversight Committee has been probing the DOJ’s investigations of Epstein and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, subpoenaing several witnesses who held federal law enforcement leadership positions.
Those have included former Attorney General Bill Barr and former South Florida US Attorney Alex Acosta, who secured a 2008 plea agreement with Epstein for state charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Pam Bondi is questioned at a House Judiciary Committee hearing with Jeffrey Epstein survivors standing behind her. REUTERSAcosta later served as President Trump’s labor secretary in his first term, but Republicans and Democrats on the panel have also called for current Cabinet officials to testify.
“We are urging Chairman Comer to publicly reaffirm that Pam Bondi is still legally obligated to appear for her deposition,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) posted on X Wednesday.
“The subpoena was written for her name, not her title. The American people deserve to know if information about Jeffrey Epstein and his associates is being withheld,” she added. “RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.”

EPARep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, also said: “If Pam Bondi doesn’t testify, we will hold her in contempt.”
Former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were deposed earlier this year to answer questions about their relationships with Epstein and Maxwell — after being threatened with contempt of Congress proceedings.
“The Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on April 14 for a deposition since she is no longer Attorney General and was subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General,” a rep for Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said Wednesday. REUTERSThe subpoenas for the Clintons were backed by bipartisan votes, though some House Democrats advocated against the contempt motions before the former first couple agreed to appear.
More than 3 million files have already been released by the Justice Department detailing FBI memos, draft prosecution documents, and victim interviews stretching back more than a decade before Epstein’s arrest in July 2019.
The 66-year-old money manager was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell the following month while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Maxwell was later convicted of conspiring with him to abuse women and girls, some as young as 14 years old.
A senior Justice Department official previously told The Post that no third parties or “clients” of Epstein were likely to be charged and that there was no evidence Epstein blackmailed his associates.
That assessment matched a memo released by the DOJ and FBI on July 6, 2025, that had sought to end questioning about the investigation of Epstein and Maxwell.
But Congress later passed a law, signed by Trump on Nov. 19, that ordered the so-called “Epstein files” to be released.
