The latest development in the ongoing investigation into the handling of Jeffrey Epstein documents saw Pam Bondi appear for a closed-door interview on Friday in Washington, D.C. This high-stakes session followed a formal subpoena issued in March, though the actual format of the appearance seems to have sparked a significant divide within the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
According to The Hill, committee leadership clashed over the specific terms of Bondi’s appearance. While she was originally subpoenaed for a formal deposition, Chair James Comer (R-KY) agreed to allow Bondi to sit for a transcribed interview instead. This format is distinct because it does not require the subject to be sworn in, and notably, the session was not videotaped.
