James Comer Subpoenas Pam Bondi Over Epstein Files

James Comer subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files. At a later closed-door briefing, Democrats walked out amid a dispute over whether Bondi would commit to answering questions under oath. Center outlets focus on Democrats’ objections to the briefing and reports that Comer used a slur toward Rep. Summer Lee. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Republican criticism of Democrats’ walkout, with some describing it as political theater and others stressing congressional scrutiny of the Justice Department’s handling of the files.
