Attorney General of the United States Pam Bondi has been formally subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of its expanding investigation into the government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Bondi is among 10 individuals issued subpoenas by the Republican-led committee, which plans to hold hearings over the next three months.
Bondi is scheduled to testify before the committee on August 19.

In a letter addressed to her by Chair James Comer (R-KY), the committee requested both testimony and the production of records related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including communications and case files.

The scope of the subpoena signals that the committee is intensifying its inquiry into Epstein’s network and the individuals allegedly connected to his criminal activities.

The subpoena to Bondi differs from previous announcements in that it specifically outlines demands for documentation, including correspondence with Maxwell and records related to Bondi’s prior claims involving a so-called “client list.”
Republican members of the committee have faced increasing pressure from constituents to uncover more information in a case that has continued to attract public scrutiny since Epstein’s death in federal custody in 2019.
Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein’s crimes, was transferred last week to a minimum-security facility in Texas.
Prior to her transfer, she reportedly met for nine hours with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche.
The meetings were part of an effort to determine whether Maxwell possessed further information relevant to the investigation, including the identities of individuals connected to Epstein’s criminal enterprise.
Bondi, who has publicly acknowledged being in possession of sensitive information linked to the case, has drawn particular attention from lawmakers and the public.
Earlier this year, Bondi claimed she had access to a list of high-profile individuals tied to Epstein.
However, in July, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it would not pursue additional charges against others associated with the case.
The decision prompted criticism and demands for further investigation.
Following public backlash over the DOJ’s decision, Bondi referred Blanche to conduct a follow-up interview with Maxwell.
According to sources familiar with the meeting, Maxwell provided the government with a list of approximately 100 individuals believed to have had ties to Epstein.
Some names on the list have not been made public.
In addition to the House committee’s actions, controversy has continued to surround President Donald Trump’s role in the matter.
In July, The Wall Street Journal published a report alleging that Trump had written a “bawdy” birthday message to Epstein.
The report included claims of a crude drawing and a fictional conversation between the two men.
President Trump denied the allegations and responded by filing a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch.
He also denied writing or drawing anything in the card described in the report.
Trump has also directed Bondi to seek the release of sealed evidence presented to a grand jury prior to Epstein’s 2019 arrest.
That effort was blocked last month after a federal judge rejected Bondi’s petition to unseal the materials.
The House Oversight Committee has not announced whether it will seek testimony from Maxwell or others mentioned in the new materials.
Additional subpoenas and hearings are expected as the investigation progresses.
