The Department of Justice said Wednesday that Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation given that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general.
The department argued that Bondi was subpoenaed in her official role as attorney general and not in a personal capacity. As such, she won’t appear on Capitol Hill on April 14 to discuss her role overseeing the release of the Epstein Files, Assistant Attorney General Patrick D. Davis wrote in a letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer.
Given this was all predictable, why wasn’t that letter sent pre emptively. They should have asserted it before the claim was made. Now it seems reasonable to reschedule, so it’s just a further delay.
Because the more back-and-fourths that happen, the more times these politicians get their name in a headline.
