The U.S. House Oversight Committee has voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department’s handling of records linked to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

The subpoena passed Wednesday in a rare bipartisan vote, 24-19, with five Republicans joining Democrats in support. The committee seeks clarity on how sensitive files were archived, handled, or potentially withheld during the long-running probe into Epstein’s illicit network.

Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who introduced the motion, said on X, “AG Bondi will testify about missing Epstein evidence. The videos, the audio, the documents the DOJ is hiding. The American people deserve transparency. Survivors deserve justice. Accountability is coming.”

The move comes over a year after Bondi faced criticism for releasing “no-reveal” binders containing little new information. A bipartisan congressional mandate in July 2025 required the full release of Epstein-related documents, but the administration has been criticized for over-redacting files. Justice officials say they are legally vetting millions of sensitive pages.

Criticism has also come from within Trump’s party. Congressman Thomas Massie called for transparency on whether taxpayer money was used in private settlements involving Congress members. The committee’s actions follow news reports that some records, including uncorroborated accusations involving former President Trump, were not publicly released.

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently gave closed-door depositions before the committee regarding their connections to Epstein. Bondi has defended the Justice Department’s process, accusing Democrats of politicizing the documents.
