Pam Bondi defies House Oversight subpoena

Bondi was expected to testify regarding her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, a matter that has drawn bipartisan scrutiny.

Lawmakers have threatened to pursue contempt of Congress charges if she fails to comply with the investigation.

The standoff represents a significant clash between the executive branch and congressional oversight efforts.

Critics argue that Bondi's refusal to testify is an attempt to cover up sensitive information related to the disgraced financier.
