On Wednesday, staunch MAGA ally and Republican Representative Nancy Mace announced that she is moving to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi as part of a growing congressional battle over the release and handling of documents tied to late sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein.
Mace announced she intends to ask a House panel to compel Bondi's testimony and produce additional documents tied to the federal investigation into Epstein. The congresswoman has been among the most vocal critics of how the Justice Department handled the release of the files, accusing officials of withholding information from both Congress and the public.
Mace wrote on social media that, "AG Bondi claims the DOJ has released all of the Epstein files. The record is clear: they have not. The Epstein case is one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. His global sex trafficking network is larger than what is being revealed. Three million documents have been released, and we still don't have the full truth. Videos are missing. Audio is missing. Logs are missing. There are millions more documents out there. We want to know why the DOJ is more focused on shielding the powerful than delivering justice. The American people deserve answers, victims deserve justice. HOLD. THE. LINE."

Her request would require approval from the relevant House committee before a formal subpoena could be issued. If approved, Bondi could be required to appear before lawmakers and provide testimony regarding the Justice Department's handling of the documents.
The fight over the records stems from the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan law passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump in November 2025. The law requires the attorney general to release unclassified documents connected to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and provide Congress with a list of individuals named in the records.
In January 2026, the Justice Department released roughly 3.5 million pages of documents related to the case, which officials said brought the government into compliance with the law. The files included emails, correspondence, photographs, and other evidence collected during the investigation.
Mace has been particularly outspoken since viewing unredacted portions of the documents earlier this year, saying the Justice Department should disclose more information about Epstein's network and any alleged accomplices.
Bondi, who has served as U.S. attorney general since 2025, has defended the department's actions. She has said the government released all materials required under the transparency law and withheld only records protected by legal privileges or privacy concerns.
