House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer just did the unthinkable.
Comer’s announcement hit Attorney General Pam Bondi like a ton of bricks.
And James Comer went to war with Pam Bondi over this Epstein bombshell.
The House Oversight Committee took the unusual step of subpoenaing Attorney General Bondi to testify about its investigation into the Epstein files as well as Epstein’s death.
“The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (Committee) is reviewing the possible mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell, the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr. Epstein’s death, the operation of sex-trafficking rings and ways for the federal government to effectively combat them, how Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell sought to curry favor and exercise influence to protect their illegal activities, and potential violations of ethics rules related to elected officials,” Comer’s letter read.
“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,” the letter continued.
It’s unusual for a Congress controlled by the same party as the President to subpoena administration officials.
A Department of Justice spokesman made that point in a statement to Semafor.
“This subpoena is completely unnecessary. Lawmakers have been invited to view the unredacted files for themselves at the Department of Justice, and the Attorney General has always made herself available to speak directly with members of Congress. She continues to have calls and meetings with members of Congress on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which is why the Department offered to brief the committee tomorrow. As always, we look forward to continuing to provide policymakers with the facts,” the statement read.
But Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files raised major red flags.
Bondi famously claimed the Epstein client list was sitting on her desk, only to later claim it didn’t exist.
Then the Department of Justice announced there would be no arrests for anyone Epstein and Maxwell trafficked women and girls to.
The Epstein files contained the bombshell that after Epstein’s death, the FBI was working on building a case against other co-conspirators, only for the investigation to get shut down.
BREAKING:
After Epstein died, the FBI was working on NUMEROUS cases with plans to indict co-conspirators OTHER than Maxwell.

The Department of Justice maintains that Epstein killed himself and that surveillance camera footage showed no one entering Epstein’s cell block around the time of his death.
But an inspector general revealed that “at approximately 10:39 P.M., an unidentified CO appeared to walk up the L Tier stairway, and then reappeared within view of the camera at 10:41 P.M.”
CBS News analyzed the footage and determined that the individual walking up the stairs towards Epstein’s cell was another inmate.
“In an in-depth analysis of surveillance video from the jail, CBS News previously reported on the figure on the stairs and consulted independent video analysts who said the movement was more consistent with an inmate — or someone wearing an orange prison uniform — than a corrections officer,” the CBS report read.
The Epstein files also show the FBI never recovered the noose that Epstein supposedly killed himself with.
And finally, prison guard Tova Noel was one of two Metropolitan Correctional Center employees who investigators accused of doctoring prison logs to falsely show they conducted their welfare checks on Epstein.
Investigators found that Noel repeatedly Googled news of Epstein’s death in the minutes after his death,
“According to FBI forensic analysis of Bureau of Prisons computers, Noel entered the search term “latest on Epstein in jail” at 5:42 A.M. and repeated the query ten minutes later at 5:52 A.M. Her fellow officer, Michael Thomas, located the financier hanging in his cell at 6:30 A.M., less than 40 minutes after her final search,” Zero Hedge reports.
Noe also made so many suspicious deposits into her bank account, with the final one coming 11 days before Epstein’s death, that Chase Bank alerted the FBI.
“Separate DOJ files reveal that Chase Bank submitted a “suspicious activity report” to the FBI in November 2019 regarding cash transactions in Noel’s account. The financial institution documented a total of 12 deposits starting in April 2018, with the largest single transaction of $5,000 occurring on July 30, 2019, just 11 days before Epstein died.
Available bank records beginning in December 2018 document seven separate cash deposits amounting to $11,880. Noel began her assignment in the Special Housing Unit where Epstein was held on July 7, 2019, approximately one month before his death,” Zero Hedge reports.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has a lot of questions to answer about the Epstein files and Epstein’s death.
That’s why the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bondi.
