Congressional Oversight

House Democrats abruptly walked out of a closed‑door briefing with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, saying Bondi refused to explicitly commit to complying with a bipartisan House Oversight subpoena for an under‑oath deposition (scheduled April 14), instead saying she would “follow the law,” and calling the off‑the‑record session a “fake hearing.” Oversight Chair James Comer called the walkout “premeditated” and said Democrats were “bitching,” while DOJ has defended its handling of Epstein records and called the subpoena unnecessary; Democrats have signaled they may pursue enforcement, including contempt or impeachment measures.
