The House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday over her role in releasing files related to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
The resolution was introduced by Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who had presented the subpoena to committee Chair Rep. James Comer earlier on Wednesday.
“AG Bondi claims the DOJ has released all of the Epstein files,” Mace posted on X. “The record is clear: they have not.”
“The Epstein case is one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. His global sex trafficking network is larger than what is being revealed. Three million documents have been released, and we still don’t have the full truth,” she wrote. “Videos are missing. Audio is missing. Logs are missing. There are millions more documents out there.”

The motion to subpoena Bondi passed 24-19, with Mace joined by the committee’s Democrats and Republican Reps. Michael Cloud, Lauren Boebert, Tim Burchett and Scott Perry.
The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment on Bondi’s subpoena.
Last week the committee, which has been looking into the federal government’s handling of Epstein’s case, deposed Bill and Hillary Clinton in separate four-hour hearings. Their testimonies came after the Clintons spent months refusing to answer their own subpoenas.
Earlier this week, Comer listed seven additional people mentioned in the Justice Department’s Epstein files that he called on to appear for “transcribed interviews” before the committee.
Comer’s list includes Bill Gates, who has apologized for his association with Epstein; former Goldman Sachs general counsel and White House lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler; and two of Epstein’s assistants: Lesley Groff and Sarah Kellen.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also agreed on Tuesday to appear for a transcribed interview in front of the Oversight Committee. Lutnick, a previous Manhattan neighbor of Epstein’s, was reported to have visited Epstein’s private island with his family — years after he claimed to have cut ties with the convicted sex offender.
“I look forward to appearing before the committee,” Lutnick told Axios. “I have done nothing wrong, and I want to set the record straight.”
