Pam Bondi ordered to testify over Epstein files

In a significant escalation of tension between the White House and Capitol Hill, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has officially subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi. The order, issued Tuesday, March 17, 2026, demands that Bondi answer for the Justice Department’s handling of millions of records linked to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move is particularly notable as the subpoena from the Republican-led committee received support from five Republicans, signaling deep-seated frustration within the President’s own party regarding the transparency of the investigation.
