DOJ says fired Attorney General Pam Bondi will not testify despite House subpoena

The Justice Department told the House Oversight Committee on April 8, 2026 that fired Attorney General Pam Bondi would not appear for her bipartisan subpoena deposition on Epstein file handling. Assistant AG Patrick Davis argued that Bondi's April 2 dismissal meant the subpoena no longer obligated her testimony in an official capacity. Democrats threatened contempt; Republicans announced Bondi would testify voluntarily on May 29.
