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.
Congress can find someone in contempt, and they can direct US Marshalls to round up anyone who tries to run off.
Remind me which party controls Congress?
The United States Marshals Service is part of the executive branch, not controlled by Congress. Remind me which party controls the executive branch?
The same party that controls the Congressional committee that issued the subpoena.
Yeah, I should have said the Sergeant-at-Arms. Point being, their enforcement power, while not highly resourced, is independent of the Executive branch.
The Republicans. You can look these things up, you know.
