监督委员会资深民主党议员称：“是时候揭开真相了”
作者：亚当·帕克 福克斯新闻
前司法部长帕姆·邦迪周五重返国会山，这是她被司法部解职后首次返回国会，议员们准备就爱泼斯坦文件对她进行质询。
邦迪将自愿接受众议院监督委员会的转录式采访，这是该委员会针对已故定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦展开调查的一部分。
今年3月，民主党人在一场由邦迪和时任副司法部长托德·布兰奇主持的爱泼斯坦文件简报会上愤然离场，但监督委员会的议员预计将在闭门证词中对她的任职经历进行严格审查，这场质询可能会持续数小时。
“帕姆·邦迪明天终于要回答我们关于爱泼斯坦文件的问题了，”众议院监督委员会高级成员、来自加利福尼亚州的民主党议员罗伯特·加西亚在社交媒体上写道。“是时候揭开真相了。”

众议院监督委员会就爱泼斯坦案件“管理不善”调查传票邦迪
此次露面之前，委员会中的民主党人和少数共和党人曾威胁，如果邦迪不配合传票要求作证，他们将建议对其提起民事藐视法庭指控。
特朗普政府最初辩称，邦迪无需作证并接受 deposition（庭外取证），因为她已经不再担任司法部长职务。
此次转录式采访不会要求邦迪在国会调查人员面前宣誓作证，但根据法律，在国会面前发言的人仍被禁止作出虚假陈述，否则将面临刑事处罚。采访的转录文本日后也可能对外公布。
采访将在国会阵亡将士纪念日休会期间进行，目前尚不清楚会有多少议员到场。
委员会中的一些民主党人对此次采访形式提出了反对意见。
“邦迪必须宣誓、公开作证，接受公众监督，”来自亚利桑那州的民主党议员梅兰妮·斯坦斯伯里周四表示。“我们要求对邦迪和布兰奇做到透明和问责。”

报道：帕姆·邦迪在卸任特朗普政府司法部长数周后被诊断出甲状腺癌
邦迪在其领导下司法部处理爱泼斯坦文件的方式一直饱受诟病，包括一些共和党议员，如南卡罗来纳州的南希·梅斯和肯塔基州的托马斯·马西。
她在就任司法部职务之初曾告诉福克斯新闻，这些文件“正摆在我的办公桌上等待审查”，但后来似乎推翻了这一说法。
在向公众披露信息出现长达数月的拖延后，外界对她的审查愈演愈烈，直到唐纳德·特朗普总统签署《爱泼斯坦文件透明度法案》，强制要求公开相关文件后，审查步伐才加快。
司法部此后已公开了超过300万页文件，但批评人士抱怨这些文件的编辑处理并不恰当。
邦迪将由民权事务助理司法部长哈米特·迪隆代理，迪隆自邦迪被解雇以来一直担任她的法律顾问。
“由于前司法部长邦迪在《爱泼斯坦文件透明度法案》通过时负责监督司法部，司法部此次介入 solely 是为了确保准确呈现部门流程，澄清任何必要问题，并为委员会提供完整的事实记录，”司法部发言人在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

此次采访之际，据Axios率先报道，邦迪正在接受甲状腺癌治疗。这位前最高检察官于今年4月离开司法部后不久被诊断出患有癌症。
“帕姆在过去几周里一直在悄悄与癌症作斗争，”前特朗普政府官员、播客主持人凯蒂·米勒在社交媒体上写道。
Bondi grilled on Epstein files in first Capitol Hill return since DOJ ouster

Top Oversight Democrat says, ‘It’s time for the truth’
By Adam Pack, Fox News
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi returns to Capitol Hill on Friday for the first time since being ousted from the Justice Department, as lawmakers prepare to grill her over the Epstein files.
Bondi will voluntarily participate in a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee as part of the panel’s investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Democrats walked out of a heated briefing hosted by Bondi and then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on the Epstein files in March, but lawmakers on the oversight panel are expected to heavily scrutinize her tenure during the closed-door testimony, which could stretch for hours.
“Pam Bondi will finally have to answer our questions tomorrow about the Epstein files,” House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia, D-Calif., wrote on social media. “It’s time for the truth.”

HOUSE OVERSIGHT SUBPOENAS AG BONDI IN PROBE OF EPSTEIN CASE ‘MISMANAGEMENT’
Bondi’s appearance comes after Democrats and a handful of Republicans on the committee threatened to recommend civil contempt charges against her if she did not comply with a subpoena for her testimony.
The Trump administration initially argued that Bondi should not have to testify and sit for a deposition as part of the committee’s probe because she was no longer in her official role as attorney general.
The transcribed interview setting will not require Bondi to testify before congressional investigators under oath, but individuals speaking before Congress are still criminally prohibited from making false statements. A transcript of the interview could also be made available at a later date.
The interview is taking place during Congress’ Memorial Day recess, and it remains unclear how many lawmakers will attend.
Some Democrats on the panel have voiced objections to the interview setting.
“Bondi must testify under oath, on camera, for the public to see,” Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-Ariz.,said Thursday. “We demand transparency and accountability for Bondi and Blanche.”

PAM BONDI DIAGNOSED WITH THYROID CANCER WEEKS AFTER DEPARTING AS TRUMP’S ATTORNEY GENERAL: REPORT
Bondi has faced relentless scrutiny over the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein files under her leadership, including from some Republicans, such as Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
She told Fox News at the start of her DOJ tenure that the files were “sitting on my desk right now for review,” but later appeared to backtrack on that claim.
Scrutiny mounted after a monthslong delay in releasing information to the public, which accelerated after President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, mandating the release of the files.
The department has since released more than 3 million pages of documents, though critics have complained that the records were not appropriately redacted.
Bondi will be represented by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, who has served as Bondi’s counsel since her firing.
“Because former Attorney General Bondi oversaw the Department at the time the Act was enacted and carried out, DOJ’s presence is solely to ensure accurate representation of Department processes, facilitate any necessary clarifications, and support a complete factual record for the Committee,” a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.

The interview also comes as Bondi has undergone treatment for thyroid cancer, Axios first reported. The former top prosecutor was diagnosed shortly after leaving the Justice Department in April.
“Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s a– the last few weeks,” former Trump official and podcaster Katie Miller wrote on social media.
