Members of the House Oversight Committee said on Wednesday that they still want sworn testimony from former Attorney General Pam Bondi about the Justice Department's handling of records tied to Jeffrey Epstein, keeping pressure on the former attorney general even after President Donald Trump removed her from the post last week.
The immediate fight centers on whether Bondi must still sit for a scheduled deposition after the Justice Department informed Congress that she would not appear. Assistant Attorney General Patrick Davis told the committee that the subpoena was no longer valid because Bondi had been subpoenaed in her official capacity as attorney general, a role she no longer holds after being fired.
