Attorney General Pamela Bondi is set to face House lawmakers at an oversight hearing Wednesday expected to focus in part on a string of controversies stemming from the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein file release.
For Bondi, it will be her first appearance before the House Judiciary Committee as attorney general, with controversy swirling around the Justice Department on a wide swath of issues during President Donald Trump’s second term.
Those include the legal justifications for an incursion to arrest Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and military strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, as well as DOJ’s role in the administration’s immigration enforcement and pursuit of criminal charges against Trump’s political rivals, former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
