Five Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before Congress about her Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) heavily scrutinized rollout of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The House Oversight Committee voted 24-19 to call in Bondi to appear in front of Congress to discuss the DOJ’s release of the files, the manner of which has garnered significant criticism from across the political spectrum. Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace — a leading proponent for greater transparency regarding Epstein’s child sex trafficking empire — brought the motion. Four of her GOP colleagues joined her in voting for it: Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Michael Cloud of Texas, and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer joined most of the panel’s Republican majority in voting against the motion.
The DOJ did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
“AG Bondi claims the DOJ has released all of the Epstein files. The record is clear: they have not,” Mace wrote in a Wednesday afternoon X post announcing her move to subpoena Bondi.
The Republican lawmaker, who is running for South Carolina Governor, went on to call Epstein’s case “one of the greatest cover-ups in American history.” She pointed to missing videos and audio, as well as outstanding documents numbering in the millions.
“We want to know why the DOJ is more focused on shielding the powerful than delivering justice. The American people deserve answers, victims deserve justice. HOLD. THE. LINE,” Mace added in her post.

“The DOJ has quietly removed more than 65,000 pages of Epstein files, without answering a single question from Congress,” Mace wrote in another Wednesday X post sent from her personal account. “Today, I moved to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi. You promised transparency. It’s time to deliver. The American people deserve the truth. RELEASE THE FILES.”
Mace and Boebert were notably among the original four House Republicans who, in 2025, joined Democrats in signing a discharge petition to force the House to vote for the Epstein files.
