Democrats on the U.S. House Oversight Committee have escalated their criticism of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of obstructing justice by refusing to appear for a congressional hearing. Bondi was subpoenaed to provide testimony concerning the handling and release of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The committee members argue that Bondi's defiance undermines the legislative body's oversight responsibilities and potentially shields influential figures connected to Epstein's network.
