NEW: House Oversight Committee Subpoenas Pam Bondi

The U.S. House Oversight Committee on Tuesday added U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to a list of 10 individuals who have been served subpoenas to testify before lawmakers over the next three months.

Bondi, who is at the center of the government’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, will testify on August 19 in front of Chair James Comer (R-KY) and his colleagues on the Republican-led committee. Unlike Comer’s earlier announcement, his letter to Bondi explicitly states that she has been called to produce records related to Epstein and his mistress, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Case files and communications with Maxwell are among a slew of documents being demanded, a sign that the House’s investigation into Epstein is heating up. Republican lawmakers are under tremendous pressure from their MAGA base to bring more transparency to a case that has fascinated the public even before Epstein killed himself in 2019.

Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence, was moved last week to a minimum security prison in Texas. Her transfer followed nine hours of meetings with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche as he investigates whether she has additional information that may prove vital to naming others close to Epstein at the height of his abuse of hundreds or thousands of underage girls.

Among members of the Trump administration involved in the investigation, Bondi has drawn outsize scrutiny for previously claiming that she held a notorious “client list” of individuals associated with Epstein. But in July, the U.S. Justice Department announced that the case would be closed without any further charges being brought against other individuals.

The announcement provoked widespread outrage among the public, forcing Bondi to backtrack and direct Blanche to speak with Maxwell. Out of their meeting allegedly came a list of “100 individuals” associated with Epstein, some of whom may not yet be known publicly.

Critics of President Donald Trump have accused him of interfering with the release of additional documents following his alleged involvement in the investigation. His involvement reached a zenith after the Wall Street Journal in July published a bombshell story alleging he wrote a “bawdy” birthday card to Epstein that contained a crude drawing of a naked woman and a suggestive imaginary dialogue between both men.

Trump responded by suing the outlet and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, while denying that he drew the picture or wrote the note.

He also directed Bondi to pursue the release of evidence against Epstein presented to a grand jury before his 2019 arrest. That effort was dealt a setback last month when a federal judge denied her petition.
