Democrats on the House Oversight Committee got up and walked out of a closed-door briefing from AG Pam Bondi on the Epstein investigation after Bondi refused to commit to honoring a subpoena for her testimony under oath.
Committee Chairman James Comer accused them of wasting time “bitching.”
Comer confirmed his verbiage in a social media post stating: “I said Democrats were bitching and wasting everyone’s time because Democrats were bitching and wasting everyone’s time.”
Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche held a closed-door meeting on Wednesday with members of the Oversight Committee after they formally subpoenaed Bondi on Tuesday.
Rep. Robert Garcia said the first thing that was asked was if Bondi would commit to a sworn deposition and testimony under oath.
“The attorney general would not commit to following the subpoena and coming in under oath, yet she wants to come in and set up some type of fake hearing where we ask questions, but it’s not transcribed, it’s not under oath, and it’s not shown to the American people,” he added.
Five Republicans joined Democrats in demanding that Bondi answer questions under oath after the Justice Department failed to comply with the law to fully release federal files from the Epstein investigation.
