The report further states that Bondy was ordered to appear for testimony by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee on April 14, 2026. A vote related to the matter earlier this month was supported by five Republicans. It reflects growing dissatisfaction even on the part of Donald Trump himself over Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files.
“The Committee has questions regarding the Justice Department’s conduct of its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” Republican Chairman James Comer said in a letter to Bondi. As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein File Transparency Act, and so the Committee believes you have valuable insight into these efforts.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department called the subpoenas “wholly unnecessary.”
“Lawmakers at the Justice Department have been invited to see unreleased files for themselves, and the Attorney General has always made himself available to speak directly with members of Congress,” the department said in a statement.
Meanwhile, critics continue to allege that the Justice Department is excessively redacting some files and not releasing others.
