Former Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding her involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation on May 29, 2026. During the session, Bondi did not answer questions related to former President Donald Trump, despite being asked about her communications with him regarding Epstein's files. Ranking Member Robert Garcia reported that Bondi refused to respond to inquiries about Trump's knowledge of Epstein's crimes. Democrats expressed frustration over her lack of cooperation, alleging that Justice Department lawyers intervened to prevent her from answering questions about Trump. Bondi was previously subpoenaed for this testimony but was fired by Trump shortly before her deposition. The Justice Department argued that she was no longer required to comply with the subpoena due to her dismissal. Democrats are now calling for the acting attorney general to appear before the committee as part of their investigation.
