Ex-Attorney General Pulls The ‘I’m Not Your Attorney Anymore’ Defense to Epstein Subpoena
KEY POINTS
- •Pam Bondi, ousted attorney general as of early April, declined to appear April 14 subpoena for Epstein file questioning.
- •The oversight committee voted bipartisan to subpoena Bondi while she was AG, led by Rep. Nancy Mace and joined by key GOP and Democrats.
- •Rep. Robert Garcia warned of contempt, though any move needs GOP votes; chairman Comer declined to confirm actions.
Pam Bondi, the recently ousted Florida Attorney General, is turning her subpoena-induced anxiety into an art form by refusing to testify before the House Oversight Committee about Epstein files, because, surprise, she’s no longer AG. Despite a flashy bipartisan stack of supporters — including Republican Nancy Mace and Boebert & Perry from the GOP squad — Bondi plays ghost, citing DOJ's logic she’s subpoenaed ‘as AG’ but now isn’t. Rep. Robert Garcia threatens contempt, but needs GOP sidekicks first. Chairman James Comer is cautiously mum, and Mace promises Bondi will still have to face the music April 14, even if Bondi’s busy practicing her Magic: The Congress Edition.
