House Democrats file contempt resolution against Bondi over Epstein subpoena
Rep. Robert Garcia and all House Oversight Committee Democrats filed a civil contempt resolution on April 29, 2026, after former Attorney General Pam Bondi failed to appear for a bipartisan subpoena deposition on the Justice Department's handling of Jeffrey Epstein files. The DOJ had argued Bondi's firing nullified the subpoena because she could no longer testify in an official capacity. Republicans on the committee simultaneously announced Bondi would testify voluntarily on May 29, defusing the contempt push.
