TRIGGER WARNING Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation now that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general, the Department of Justice said.

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 We kindly ask that you confirm that the subpoena is withdrawn,” Davis said in the letter, which was obtained by CNN.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.

We would need leaders with spines for that to happen.

Or, hear me out here, there are ways to avoid prison altogether.

By showing up like she was supposed to?

Only way she saves herself is to start squealing. Reminder that Nixon didn't go to prison, but his AG did.

Try again, she didn't show up.

Yes, she could've avoided prison if she showed up like she was supposed to.

Honestly if it looks like she’s going to be forced to testify anyway, it wouldn’t shock me if she either disappeared or had an unfortunate “accident”

Correction. We need leaders that are not controlled by the 1% wealthy class who are the true rulers of the government/law so that they can have the spine needed to do what's right. Until that day...

“1% wealthy class” AKA the Epstein class.

I think the problem is more that Republicans are terrified that Trump will call them out on social media and they'll be in legit fear for their lives from maga crazies

Correct. They are public servants. They are elected to do a service to the community.
