House Democrats called on former Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before the Oversight Committee about the Epstein files release. Bondi refused, citing her departure from office in April. Democrats warned she could face contempt charges. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed in November, required document release. Critics say the administration withheld and heavily redacted files beyond legal limits. Bipartisan lawmakers including Ro Khanna and Nancy Mace demanded compliance with the subpoena.
