Attorney General Pam Bondi was subpoenaed by Congress over the Epstein files — she's the one supposed to prosecute

Congress Had to Subpoena the Attorney General Over Epstein

Let that sink in: Congress had to issue a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi — the nation's top law enforcement officer — to get answers about the Epstein files. The person who should be leading the prosecution had to be legally compelled to participate in oversight.

The Subpoena

The House of Representatives subpoenaed Bondi regarding the handling of the Epstein files — the same files the DOJ previously took offline, the same files that Congress had to pass a literal law to force the release of. Every step of this process has required legal compulsion because the DOJ won't act voluntarily.

The Pattern

This is the fourth time Congress has had to force the DOJ's hand on Epstein. First, they had to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Then they had to pressure the DOJ to actually comply. Then files went mysteriously offline. Now they're subpoenaing the AG herself.

The public gets it. When you have to subpoena the prosecutor, the prosecutor is the problem. Nobody at the DOJ is interested in pursuing Epstein's clients because the clients are the people who appointed them.
