Summary
WASHINGTON — One of President Donald Trump's allies in Congress speared Attorney General Pam Bondi in an interview with Raw Story on Tuesday. Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who leads the House Oversight Committee, told Raw Story that the committee has "a lot of questions" for Bondi about her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the Justice Department's efforts to prosecute Trump's political enemies. Comer made the comments just hours after his committee voted to subpoena Bondi and force her to appear for a deposition. "There are a couple of things, and I wonder why we haven't gotten them," Comer said about Bondi's handling of the Epstein files. Bondi is scheduled to appear for a closed-door briefing before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, CNN reported. The hearing was scheduled pursuant to the Epstein Transparency Act, which requires the Department of Justice to release all of the Epstein files in its possession. So far, the DOJ has released about 2% of the files it has, according to reports. Comer also questioned the DOJ's decision to redact certain information about potential co-conspirators from the Epstein files, and the way the department has treated some of Epstein's accusers. "We have a lot of questions," Comer said. A spokesperson for the DOJ told CNN that the subpoena is "completely unnecessary."
