Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi will undergo closed-door questioning by House lawmakers on May 29, 2026 [1].
The hearing focuses on the Justice Department's management of Jeffrey Epstein's case files. Lawmakers are investigating whether the Trump administration mishandled the release of these documents, seeking accountability for the process.
Bondi is appearing before a U.S. House of Representatives committee in Washington, D.C. [2]. The session remains closed to the public as members of Congress probe the internal mechanisms of the Department of Justice and the specific timeline of file disclosures.
This congressional scrutiny comes shortly after Bondi's tenure in Florida ended. She was ousted as Florida Attorney General in April 2026 [3].
Congressional investigators are examining the intersection of political influence and judicial transparency. The probe seeks to determine if specific files were suppressed or delayed for political reasons, a central point of the current inquiry.
Bondi has previously distanced herself from the Epstein files as lawmakers continue their pursuit of a full accounting of the DOJ's actions [2].
“Pam Bondi will undergo closed-door questioning by House lawmakers on May 29, 2026.”
The investigation into the Epstein files represents a broader effort by Congress to establish oversight over the Justice Department's handling of high-profile criminal records. By questioning a former state official with ties to the federal administration, lawmakers are attempting to bridge the gap between state-level legal actions and federal document management to identify potential systemic failures or political interference.
