House Oversight Chair James Comer on Tuesday issued a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi to appear for a deposition on April 14 as part of the panel’s Jeffrey Epstein probe.

Comer wrote in the subpoena cover letter that his panel is investigating the “possible mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation” into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

“The Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” Comer wrote, referring to the law passed by Congress last year mandating the Justice Department’s release of the files.

    At least they haven’t forgotten about the criminal cover-up that’s still ongoing, even while Operation Epstein Fury fucks over the world in the attempt to distract from it. Subpoenas like this are one of the primary ways to enforce accountability, and even though that hasn’t really happened yet (accountability) in this bullshit hurricane, we should still support their efforts.
