华盛顿— 众议院监督与政府改革委员会周三投票决定传召司法部长帕姆·邦迪作证，这是其调查联邦政府处理对定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦案件的一部分。
该小组通过了南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员南希·梅斯提出的一项动议，要求向邦迪发出传票，共有五名共和党人与民主党成员共同支持这一请求。
支持传票邦迪的共和党议员包括：梅斯、科罗拉多州众议员劳伦·博伯特、田纳西州众议员蒂姆·伯切特、德克萨斯州众议员迈克尔·克劳德和宾夕法尼亚州众议员斯科特·佩里。
司法部未立即回应置评请求。
监督委员会去年8月曾向司法部发出传票，要求提供与爱泼斯坦相关的文件。去年国会以两党支持通过的立法（特朗普总统于11月签署）也要求司法部披露其对爱泼斯坦调查的所有材料。由于这项被称为《爱泼斯坦档案透明法案》的法律，数百万份记录已公开，最后一批文件于1月底发布。
投票前，监督委员会主席、肯塔基州共和党众议员詹姆斯·科默表示，邦迪已提议向司法部成员提供关于爱泼斯坦相关档案及“其他相关内容”的简报。
该小组的最高民主党人、加利福尼亚州众议员罗伯特·加西亚表示，公众对司法部发布爱泼斯坦调查材料的程序存在“重大疑问”。
“司法部长显然已经向其他委员会作证，”他说，“我认为让她在我们委员会面前接受质询很重要。她可以直接回答关于档案发布、透明度以及确保受害者和幸存者得到保护的问题。”
邦迪上月曾出席众议院司法委员会听证会，该听证会聚焦于司法部监督工作，期间民主党人就司法部处理爱泼斯坦档案的方式向她提出尖锐质问。民主党议员指责邦迪策划了一场“掩盖”，保护了在数百万页材料中出现的人员姓名，却未对爱泼斯坦虐待幸存者的姓名进行编辑。
司法部还因文件发布速度受到批评。《爱泼斯坦档案透明法案》要求所有材料必须在2025年12月19日前发布，但司法部分批次公开了文件。首批文件中对特朗普提及较少，而第二波披露的记录则提到了总统，但特朗普未被指控有不当行为。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻分析发现，司法部下架了数万份文件，其中一些包含露骨图像或幸存者信息。但其他文件（如带有编辑后姓名的通话记录）被移除的原因尚不清楚。
司法部长并非特朗普内阁中唯一可能因爱泼斯坦案接受委员会质询的成员。科默周二宣布，因与声名狼藉的金融家有联系而受到审查的商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克同意接受该小组的采访，但其作证日期尚未确定。
在司法部公开其调查相关记录后，卢特尼克是众多与爱泼斯坦有沟通的权贵人物之一。尽管卢特尼克称自己在2005年就已切断与爱泼斯坦的联系，但文件显示，在爱泼斯坦2008年因佛罗里达州州级卖淫指控认罪后至2019年因联邦性交易指控被起诉自杀身亡期间，两人仍有沟通。
作为对政府处理爱泼斯坦案件调查的一部分，监督委员会已寻求多名前官员、爱泼斯坦身边人员的证词，以及爱泼斯坦遗产的相关文件。
调查人员上月对前总统比尔·克林顿和前国务卿希拉里·克林顿进行了闭门证词陈述，相关视频本周早些时候已发布。
前总统评价爱泼斯坦称：“我在他身边时没有发现任何迹象表明他在贩卖妇女。”与此同时，希拉里·克林顿表示自己“对他一无所知”。

House Oversight Committee votes to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify in Epstein probe
Updated on: March 4, 2026 / 4:38 PM EST / CBS News
Washington— The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted Wednesday to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony as part of its investigation into the federal government’s handling of the case against convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The panel approved a motion from Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, to issue the subpoena to Bondi, with five Republicans in all joining with Democratic members in support of the bid.
The GOP lawmakers who supported the effort to subpoena Bondi are: Mace, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett, Texas Rep. Michael Cloud and Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Oversight Committee had issued a subpoena to the Justice Department for documents related to Epstein last August. Legislation passed with bipartisan support from Congress last year, which was signed by President Trump in November, also required the Justice Department to disclose all material from its investigation into Epstein. Millions of records were made public as a result of the law, called the Epstein Files Transparency Act, with the last tranche of documents released in late January.
Ahead of the vote, Rep. James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky who chairs the Oversight Committee, said Bondi has offered to provide a briefing to members at the Justice Department on the Epstein-related files and “anything else pertaining to that.”
Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the panel, said the public has “significant questions” about the Justice Department’s process for releasing the material from its investigation into Epstein.

“The attorney general has gone to speak, obviously, to other committees,” he said. “I think it’s important that she is in front of our committee. She can directly answer questions about the release of the files, about transparency, about ensuring that victims and survivors are protected.”
Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee last month for a hearing focused on oversight of the Justice Department, during which she faced sharp questions from Democrats about the department’s handling of the Epstein files. Democratic lawmakers accused Bondi of orchestrating a “cover-up” that shielded people whose names appeared in the millions of pages of material, while failing to redact the names of survivors of Epstein’s abuse.
The Justice Department has also been criticized for the pace of the release of the documents. The Epstein Files Transparency Act required all of the material to be released by Dec. 19, 2025, but the Justice Department made the documents public in batches. The department also faced criticism over the first tranche, which contained few mentions of Mr. Trump, though records disclosed in the second wave did mention the president. Mr. Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing.
A CBS News analysis found that the Justice Department took down tens of thousands of files, some of which contained explicit images or survivors’ information. But the reasons for the removal of other files, such as a call log with redacted names, are unclear.
The attorney general is not the only member of Mr. Trump’s Cabinet who could appear before the committee to answer questions about Epstein. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, under scrutiny for his ties to the disgraced financier, agreed to an interview with the panel, Comer announced Tuesday. A date for his testimony has not yet been set.
Lutnick was among the slew of powerful people revealed to have been in communication with Epstein after the Justice Department made public its trove of records stemming from its probe. While Lutnick had said he cut off contact with Epstein in 2005, documents showed they communicated in the years between Epstein’s guilty plea to state prostitution charges in Florida in 2008 and his death by suicide in 2019, after he was indicted on federal sex-trafficking charges.
As part of its investigation into the government’s handling of Epstein’s case, the Oversight Committee has sought testimony from several former officials and others who were close to him, as well as documents from Epstein’s estate.
Investigators held closed-door depositions with former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last month, videos of which were released earlier this week.
The former president said of Epstein, “There’s nothing that I saw when I was around him that made me realize he was trafficking women.” Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, said she knew “nothing about him.”
