The Department of Justice said Wednesday that Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation given that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general.
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.
Fun fact, criminal contempt of Congress requires a full vote for civil contempt, and then refers them DOJ to decide if they want to prosecute, which they likely decline.
They also can sent their Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest and bring her to Congress, and held until she complies.
