Epstein Probe: Congress Moves to Summon Pam Bondi
Lawmakers intensify the Epstein files investigation as millions of documents surface but key evidence remains missing, fueling allegations of a major political cover-up.
A congressional committee has voted to subpoena US Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The motion to subpoena Bondi was introduced by Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who accused the Justice Department of a "cover-up."
The Trump administration is facing mounting pressure from political parties to release all documents related to the investigation. Congressional committees have already compelled several high-profile individuals to testify in the matter.
"The Epstein case is one of the largest cover-ups in American history. His global sex trafficking network is far larger than is being revealed," Mace wrote on social media.
Bondi and the Trump administration have been criticized for the manner in which the files were released, including for failing to conceal the names of Epstein's victims.

Garcia said he personally reviewed the documents containing the allegations and kept them from being made public.
The Justice Department responded by stating that "nothing was deleted," and that documents were withheld only because they were "duplicate, privileged, or part of an ongoing federal investigation."
Last week, responding to a subpoena, former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, testified before the Oversight Committee.
Although Epstein's victims have not accused Clinton of any wrongdoing, Bill Clinton's name is included in investigative files related to the sexual predator, including photographs.
There is no suggestion that Epstein's name appearing in the documents implies wrongdoing.
