Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, released the following statement after former Attorney General Pam Bondi missed the scheduled date of her deposition before the Oversight Committee. Pam Bondi is attempting to evade a lawful bipartisan subpoena the Committee issued last month. The subpoena was issued following a bipartisan vote supporting a motion by Rep. Nancy Mace to subpoena, “the Honorable Pamela Jo Bondi,” and not just the Attorney General.
“Pam Bondi is evading a lawful congressional subpoena by failing to appear before the Oversight Committee for a deposition about the Epstein files and the White House cover-up. This subpoena applies to her regardless of her title. She must appear before the Committee, and if she continues to ignore the law, Oversight Democrats will move forward with contempt proceedings immediately. We will fight until there is true accountability and justice,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.
