KEY POINTS
- •On February 26, 2026, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed AG Pam Bondi over incomplete Epstein file releases.
- •Rep. Nancy Mace and a bipartisan coalition criticized the DOJ for withholding videos, audio, and millions of pages.
- •Despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act, lawmakers with full access say some documents were removed after initial release.
On February 26, 2026, the bipartisan House Oversight Committee voted 24-19 to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi. Why? Because Bondi insists the DOJ released all Epstein files, but Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) says the DOJ’s so-called dump is missing audio, videos, and logs. Congressional members with secret unredacted access claim DOJ even pulled some files back — classic déjà vu. The Epstein Files Transparency Act required a full release, yet the DOJ is withholding millions of pages. Meanwhile, GOP legends like Lauren Boebert and Michael Cloud joined Democrats channeling the collective 'Wait, what files?' vibe.
