美国司法部周三表示，鉴于帕姆·邦迪已不再担任美国司法部长，她将不会出席众议院监督委员会针对杰弗里·爱泼斯坦调查的原定取证听证会。
助理司法部长帕特里克·D·戴维斯在写给众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默的信函中称，邦迪是因其司法部长的官方身份而非个人身份被传唤作证。因此，她无需于4月14日前往国会山，就其监督发布“爱泼斯坦文件”相关事宜作证。
戴维斯在这封被CNN获取的信函中表示：“邦迪女士已不再担任该职务。鉴于此，邦迪女士无法再以司法部长的官方身份作证，司法部的立场是，该传票不再要求她于4月14日出庭。我们恳请您确认撤回该传票。”
共和党主导的众议院监督委员会的一名发言人在一份声明中表示，该委员会“将联系帕姆·邦迪的私人律师，商讨安排其作证的后续步骤”。

The Department of Justice said Wednesday that Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation given that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general.
The department argued that Bondi was subpoenaed in her official role as attorney general and not in a personal capacity. As such, she won’t appear on Capitol Hill on April 14 to discuss her role overseeing the release of the Epstein Files, Assistant Attorney General Patrick D. Davis wrote in a letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer.
“Ms. Bondi no longer holds that office. As a result, because Ms. Bondi no longer can testify in her official capacity as Attorney General, the Department’s position is that the subpoena no longer obligates her to appear on April 14. We kindly ask that you confirm that the subpoena is withdrawn,” Davis said in the letter, which was obtained by CNN.
A spokeswoman for the Republican-led panel said in a statement that the committee “will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.”
