Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to appear Friday before the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and the release of Epstein-related files. Multiple outlets report that the interview will take place behind closed doors and is not described as a formal deposition. CBS and others say Bondi’s questioning is expected to include scrutiny of how DOJ handled the documents connected to the case. The House panel previously sought Bondi’s testimony after she was subpoenaed earlier this year, following a period in which she did not comply after leaving the Justice Department. PBS NewsHour adds that lawmakers may also pursue issues tied to Epstein’s case, including the prison sentence of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former confidante and associate. Forbes reports the closed-door testimony is not under oath and will not be recorded, while ABC News frames the appearance as part of the House’s broader investigation into Epstein’s sexual abuse cases. According to The Hill, Bondi is accompanied by Harmeet Dhillon, an assistant attorney general for DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, as Democrats and Republicans continue to dispute aspects of DOJ’s actions and document release.
