House Committee Subpoenas AG Bondi for Epstein Investigation
A U.S. House panel votes to compel Florida's former Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify over her office's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files. Bondi faces scrutiny for potential mishandling of the high-profile sex trafficking investigation.
In a move that signals intensifying scrutiny over the Jeffrey Epstein case, a U.S. House committee has voted to subpoena former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about her office's handling of the infamous sex trafficking investigation. The House Judiciary Committee's decision comes amid growing public outrage over Epstein's lenient plea deal and the potential mishandling of the case by state and federal prosecutors.
Bondi, who served as Florida's top law enforcement officer from 2011 to 2019, has faced criticism for her office's role in negotiating a controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to state prostitution charges and serve just 13 months in county jail. The deal, which granted Epstein and his alleged co-conspirators immunity from federal sex trafficking charges, has been widely condemned as an example of preferential treatment for the wealthy and well-connected.
