Bondi Skips Epstein Files Deposition

The committee had subpoenaed Bondi to answer questions about the department's handling of the Epstein files and allegations of a potential cover-up.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers expressed frustration with the move, with some members threatening to pursue contempt of Congress charges.

The DOJ maintains that the subpoena applied only to Bondi in her official capacity as Attorney General.

This development adds to the ongoing turmoil within the Justice Department following a series of high-profile leadership changes and internal clashes.
