华盛顿 — 周二，众议院监督委员会共和党主席詹姆斯·科默传唤司法部长帕姆·邦迪，要求其就司法部对定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦调查处理情况作证。
这一传票由肯塔基州共和党众议员科默发出，要求邦迪于4月14日出席闭门作证会。
科默在信中写道：“作为司法部长，你直接负责监督司法部根据《爱泼斯坦档案透明法案》收集、审查和决定档案的发布工作，委员会因此认为你掌握这些工作的宝贵见解。”
委员会于3月4日投票通过了一项传唤邦迪的动议，五名共和党人与所有民主党人一起支持推进这一事项。这项动议由南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员南希·梅斯提出。科罗拉多州共和党众议员劳伦·博伯特、田纳西州蒂姆·伯切特、德克萨斯州迈克尔·克劳德和宾夕法尼亚州斯科特·佩里也背离所属政党，支持这一行动。
邦迪和司法部副部长托德·布兰奇还计划于周三闭门向委员会简报。科默指出，为避免这一传票，邦迪本月早些时候曾表示愿意向议员们进行关于爱泼斯坦调查的私人简报。
但两党议员都对司法部处理档案发布和大量文件删改表示不满。
据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻分析，司法部仅发布了约300万页文件，而其持有的文件总量约为600万页。其中数万份文件，包括一些包含露骨图片或受害者信息的文件，已被移除。
2025年12月19日，国会通过《爱泼斯坦档案透明法案》，要求司法部必须在此前发布所有与爱泼斯坦相关的材料。
监督委员会最高民主党人、加利福尼亚州共和党众议员罗伯特·加西亚指责邦迪“领导了白宫掩盖行为”。
他在周二的声明中表示：“多亏了监督委员会民主党人的团结，以及几位共和党人的支持，司法部长现在将在委员会面前宣誓作证。不再有谎言，不再有干扰。我们要真相——以及对受害者的正义。”
司法部发言人表示，传票“完全没有必要”。
“国会成员已受邀亲自前往司法部查看未删改文件，司法部长一直愿意直接与国会成员交谈。”发言人说。

Comer subpoenas Bondi to testify before House Oversight Committee on Epstein files
March 17, 2026 / 2:51 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — The GOP chairman of the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony on the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The subpoena, issued by GOP Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, requires Bondi to appear for a closed-door deposition on April 14.
“As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts,” Comer wrote.
The committee voted on March 4 to approve a motion to subpoena Bondi, with five Republicans voting with all Democrats to move ahead on the matter. The motion itself was introduced by GOP Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina. Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Michael Cloud of Texas and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania also broke with their party to support it.
Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche are also scheduled to brief the committee behind closed doors on Wednesday. In an attempt to fend off the subpoena earlier this month, Comer noted Bondi had offered to give private briefings to members about the Epstein investigation.
But lawmakers in both parties have been frustrated by the department’s handling of the release of the files and sweeping redactions of many documents.
Only about half of the files in the Justice Department’s possession appear to have been released. Blanche has said the department reviewed 6 million total pages. According to a CBS News analysis, the department has released about 3 million pages of documents in several batches. Tens of thousands of files, some of which contained explicit images or survivors’ information, have been removed.
In November, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act that compelled the release of all Epstein-related materials that the Justice Department had in its possession by Dec. 19, 2025.
Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, accused Bondi of leading “a White House cover-up.”
“Thanks to united Oversight Committee Democrats, along with the support of several Republicans, the Attorney General will now appear before our committee under oath,” he said in a statement Tuesday. “No more lies. No more distractions. We want the truth — and justice for the survivors.”
A spokesperson for the Justice Department said the 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,” the spokesperson said.
