Pamela Bondi will not appear for her scheduled deposition next week as part of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s investigation of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a panel spokesperson said Wednesday.
The panel stipulated the April 14 deposition date in a letter to the then-attorney general last month, after a bipartisan coalition voted to subpoena her to come before the panel to answer lawmaker questions about the Justice Department’s compliance with a law Congress passed last year that ordered the release of records related to the late financier.
A panel spokeswoman, in a statement Wednesday, said the Justice Department has said that Bondi would not appear for the April 14 deposition because she is no longer attorney general and was subpoenaed in that capacity.
