It marks the latest roadblock in Congress’ fight to secure Bondi’s sworn testimony related to the Justice Department’s public release of its investigative files into the late convicted sex offender.
The department argued that Bondi was subpoenaed in her official role as attorney general and not in a personal capacity. As such, she won’t appear on Capitol Hill on April 14 to discuss her role overseeing the release of the Epstein Files, Assistant Attorney General Patrick D. Davis wrote in a letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer.
“Ms. Bondi no longer holds that office. As a result, because Ms. Bondi no longer can testify in her official capacity as Attorney General, the Department’s position is that the subpoena no longer obligates her to appear on April 14. We kindly ask that you confirm that the subpoena is withdrawn,” Davis said in the letter, which was obtained by CNN.
But the panel is still looking to move forward.
A spokeswoman for the Republican-led panel said in a statement that the committee “will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.”
And Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the panel, said Bondi must appear regardless of her title.
“Our bipartisan subpoena is to Pam Bondi, whether she is the Attorney General or not. She must come in to testify immediately, and if she defies the subpoena, we will begin contempt charges in the Congress. The survivors deserve justice,” Garcia said.

Then she can go right to prison
Coincidence? I think not.
Smug personified.
the dow still did not go back to 50k
Such bullshit.
They’re protecting a pedophile protector.
They are 100% gonna replace her with an even bigger monster.
She was called by name, not title, and dems have already said they’ll file contempt charges… but the supreme court helping Steve Bannon out with his contempt charges probably makes that much more toothless.
Her job was to run cover for Trump and the Epstein class. This part of that same game plan. Like Noem and Bovino, Bondi played her role to a T, and is now being promoted to the private sector where she (and Noem etc) can collect their payday and not have to answer to an ethics office for corruption. This is institutional graft. Anyone who thinks she got fired or will face justice is ignorant of the crime-only-exists-for-this-who-cannot-afford-the-fine classist structure of “justice” in the USA. This 💩 isn’t an error, its a *feature.*
Unreal.
Of course
Not how that works but ok.
#shockedpikachu
Now make her contempt
The American justice system is an embarrassment.
Holy fucking shit our government is run by an actual fucking cartel
Hold her ass in contempt.
Who ever could have predicted this! 🙄
Gross human being. Literally made the earth a worse place by existing.
Must be nice to be a government employee and not be held to the same standards as you know the average citizen.
Pretty sure they can subpoena her anyway?
That was the goal
Yeah of course she wouldn’t, it’s not like they’re obeying the laws anyways.
Yikes. Well he definitely asked her to cover it up
Even if they file contempt charges, absolutely NOTHING will happen to her.
Arrest her
She’s still a criminal who committed crimes while attorney general and should go to jail.
It’s hard to stay mad watching this clown show.
Nixons attorney generally went to jail and disbarred
Is this contempt of court? I certainly think so
here’s why the fired her
Breaking the law is consistent with this administration
Chicken!
If she doesn’t work for the DOJ, in what world do they get to offer an opinion about her obligation to show up?
Does Sony or Chevrolet get to weigh in? She also doesn’t work there.
She’ll be held in contempt, then Trump will pardon her. Same old bullshit
So… she’s just a regular ol civilian? Being subpoenaed and not showing? Doesn’t that result in arrest?
Then bring the new guy in to be deposed about the epstein files
We need regime change at home.
Anyone surprised?
But Hillary did, even though she never met the man. Got it ..
Why the fuck do any of us have to follow rules and laws when these gargoyles don’t have to
in The future School Children will see her picture and when aske Who is this? they will say ” I can’t remember her Her name, But I know she protects Child Molesters and Rapists”
Absolutely predictable. Gross people
