Biography Flash Pam Bondi Skips Epstein Deposition as Contempt Threat Looms

Pam Bondi, the ousted former Attorney General, is making headlines for dodging a high-stakes congressional showdown over the explosive Jeffrey Epstein files. According to The Times, the Department of Justice confirmed Wednesday that Bondi will skip her subpoenaed deposition before the House Oversight Committee on April 14, arguing she was summoned in her official capacity, which ended when President Trump fired her last week. The bipartisan committee, led by Chairman James Comer, isnt buying it, with spokesperson Jessica Collins telling the LA Times theyll contact her personal attorney to reschedule pronto, while Ranking Member Robert Garcia warned CBS4Local of contempt charges if she stonewalls. This Epstein saga, which has bipartisan fury boiling over millions of redacted pages allegedly hiding client lists and abuse details, could define Bondis legacy. The Times recalls her past claim of having Epsteins client list on her desk, later debunked by the DOJ, fueling months of political drama that forced partial releases. Punchbowl News reports the deposition is delayed for now, as Republicans and Democrats unite to demand accountability on mishandled probes. Missouri Lawyers Media notes the committees threat of enforcement, with no word yet from Bondi herself. Acting AG Todd Blanche, in his first CNN presser Tuesday, dodged why Trump axed her, shrugging nobody knows except the president, amid whispers of Iran tensions and Trump loyalty tests. No public appearances, business moves, or social media posts from Bondi in the last few days, per available reports, though Rep. Nancy Mace urged on X to subpoena her personally. In the past 24 hours, no fresh major headlines, but the April 14 no-show looms large for her post-DOJ future.
