Former US Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Oversight Committee to address concerns regarding the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's case files. Her testimony comes amid a broader investigation into the possible mismanagement of the Epstein case, particularly in relation to the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Bondi was formally summoned by the House Oversight Committee in March, just before Trump announced her ouster as his administration's top prosecutor.

During her testimony, Bondi defended the Trump administration's release of the Epstein case files, asserting that the process was appropriate despite facing criticism for delays. She emphasized that the release was in line with the administration's commitment to transparency.

James Comer, wrote in a subpoena letter that they are investigating the "possible mismanagement" of the Epstein investigation and compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The House Oversight Committee has been actively investigating the Epstein case, having previously interviewed several notable figures, including former President Bill Clinton and Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted as an accomplice to Epstein. This ongoing inquiry aims to shed light on the various aspects of the Epstein investigation and the actions taken by the Department of Justice during Bondi's tenure.

The congressional panel has previously interviewed former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady Hillary Clinton, the current Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and the convicted Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
