Rep. Garcia Warns Bondi of Contempt Over Missed Epstein Files Deposition
Pam Bondi is facing a growing threat of contempt of Congress after skipping a scheduled deposition tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
According to the Department of Justice, Bondi was not required to appear because she was subpoenaed in her role as attorney general—a position she no longer holds. But lawmakers from both parties are rejecting that explanation, arguing the subpoena applies to her personally.

The missed testimony is part of an ongoing House Oversight probe into how the DOJ handled Epstein-related records, including delayed releases and heavily redacted files. Critics say key documents remain hidden despite new transparency laws.
Rep. Robert Garcia warned that Bondi could face contempt proceedings if she continues to refuse cooperation, while other lawmakers say negotiations to reschedule are ongoing.
The standoff highlights a broader conflict over accountability in one of the most scrutinized federal investigations in recent years.
