Thomas Massie grills Attorney General Pam Bondi in House Judiciary Committee Hearing
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi for a deposition on Tuesday as she comes under continued scrutiny for her handling of the Epstein files and potential noncompliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The deposition is scheduled for April 14, 2026.
Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche are also scheduled to give a private briefing to Oversight Committee members on Wednesday.
In an attached letter to Bondi, Comer expressed concern over noncompliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump last November, and “possible mismanagement” of the investigation into Epstein and his associates.
“The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (Committee) is reviewing the possible mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell, the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr. Epstein’s death, the operation of sex-trafficking rings and ways for the federal government to effectively combat them, the ways in which Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell sought to curry favor and exercise influence to protect their illegal activities, and potential violations of ethics rules related to elected officials,” Comer wrote in the letter.
“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. 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.”
This comes after Bondi’s tranwreck testimony on the Epstein files last month, where she got grilled by the Democrats, refused to answer questions, was accused of perjury, and came off as unhinged and terrified throughout the roughly 5-hour-long hearing.
The Gateway Pundit reported on one exchange between Bondi and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), where she desperately attacked him when backed into a corner on why the Department of Justice redacted the names of Epstein coconspirators like billionaire and former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner.
Instead of answering his questions, Bondi lost it and shouted, “This guy has Trump derangement syndrome!” She then called him “a failed politician,” later slamming him as a “hypocrite.”

Bondi subsequently came under additional fire for a perceived cover-up on behalf of Epstein associates and coconspirators and her February 14 report, claiming that all Epstein files had been released.
Bondi claimed in her report that “No records were withheld or redacted ‘on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary,” but several Lawmakers weren’t pleased.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) later accused Bondi of “withholding information and files” and enabling Democrats to “paint the President in a bad light when his actions were the opposite.”
“So poorly managed, heads should roll,” Mace said of Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files. “SHAME ON THE DOJ.”
This is a developing story.
