众议院监督委员会共和党多数党周三表示，前司法部长帕姆·邦迪不会出席原定于4月14日举行的作证，以配合该委员会对已故定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦展开的调查。
“司法部已经表示，帕姆·邦迪不会在4月14日出席作证，因为她已不再担任总检察长，且传票是以总检察长身份发出的，”众议院监督委员会发言人在一份声明中对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“委员会将联系帕姆·邦迪的私人律师，讨论安排她作证的后续步骤。”
该委员会并未撤回传票，这意味着邦迪仍可能被要求出庭作证。
委员会中的民主党人在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中反驳了司法部的解释。

“如今帕姆·邦迪被解雇了，她试图逃避在监督委员会作证的法律义务，就爱泼斯坦相关文件以及白宫的掩盖行为作出说明，”监督委员会民主党高级议员、来自加州的众议员罗伯特·加西亚周三反驳道。“无论她是否担任总检察长，我们对帕姆·邦迪发出的两党传票都有效。”
总统唐纳德·特朗普上周在邦迪因处理爱泼斯坦相关文件受到两党审查后，将其从司法部罢免。
加西亚补充称，如果邦迪不遵守传票要求出席委员会听证会，他将推动将邦迪判定为藐视国会。
众议院监督委员会可就邦迪拒传传票行为建议对其提起刑事指控，但该议案需经全院投票，最终是否提起指控将由司法部决定。
代理司法部长托德·布兰奇在周二的新闻发布会上拒绝就邦迪是否应遵守传票置评。
“如今她已是前总检察长，且有传票在身，接下来会发生什么，我想还是交由主席科默和其他人来定夺吧。我对此没有答案，”这位美国新任最高检察官说道。
这场愈演愈烈的法律争端之前，3月份有五名共和党议员与民主党议员一道，不顾委员会主席科默的反对，将邦迪纳入该委员会爱泼斯坦调查的传唤对象。这五名议员分别是南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员南希·梅斯、科罗拉多州共和党众议员劳伦·博伯特、田纳西州共和党众议员蒂姆·伯切特、宾夕法尼亚州共和党众议员斯科特·佩里以及德克萨斯州共和党众议员迈克尔·克劳德。

梅斯以及该委员会资深成员、来自加州的民主党众议员罗·卡纳周三致信科默，要求他“公开重申”邦迪有法律义务在4月14日的作证环节中出席委员会听证会。
“邦迪被免去总检察长职务，并不能抹去她作证的义务，”这两党搭档写道。“如果说有什么不同的话，那就是她的宣誓作证变得更加关键。国会的监督不会因官员离任而停止。”
“帕姆·邦迪是以个人名义被传唤的，而非以职位名义，”梅斯在另一份声明中补充道。

Ousted AG Bondi declines Epstein deposition, but lawmakers say subpoena still holds
April 8, 2026 2:35pm EDT / Fox News
DOJ says Bondi was subpoenaed as AG and is no longer required to testify, but a bipartisan group vows to enforce the subpoena

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will not sit for a planned deposition before the House Oversight Committee as part of its probe into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the panel’s Republican majority said Wednesday.
“The Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on April 14 for a deposition since she is no longer Attorney General and was subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General,” a House Oversight Committee spokeswoman told Fox News Digital in a statement. “The Committee will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.”
The committee has not withdrawn the subpoena, meaning Bondi could still be required to sit for a deposition.
Democrats on the committee pushed back on the Justice Department’s explanation in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“Now that Pam Bondi has been fired, she’s trying to get out of her legal obligation to testify before the Oversight Committee about the Epstein files and the White House cover-up,” Oversight ranking member Robert Garcia, D-Calif., fired back Wednesday. “Our bipartisan subpoena is to Pam Bondi, whether she is the Attorney General or not.”
President Donald Trump ousted Bondi from the Justice Department last week after she faced bipartisan scrutiny of her handling of the Epstein files.
Garcia added that he would move to hold Bondi in contempt of Congress if she does not comply with the subpoena to appear before the panel.
The House Oversight Committee could recommend criminal charges against Bondi for defying a subpoena, but the measure would be subject to a chamber-wide vote and would ultimately be up to the DOJ whether to file charges.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declined to weigh in on whether Bondi should comply with the subpoena during a news conference Tuesday.
“What happens now that she’s the former attorney general and there’s the subpoena out there is, I think I’ll leave to Chairman Comer and others to figure out. I don’t have an answer to that,” the nation’s new top prosecutor said.
The brewing legal battle comes after five Republicans voted with Democrats to subpoena Bondi as part of the committee’s Epstein probe over Comer’s objections in March. The lawmakers were Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., Scott Perry, R-Pa., and Michael Cloud, R-Texas.

Mace and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., another member of the powerful committee, sent Comer a letter Wednesday asking him to “publicly reaffirm” Bondi’s “legal obligation” to testify before the committee in the April 14 deposition.
“Bondi’s removal as Attorney General doesn’t erase her obligation to testify,” the bipartisan duo wrote. “If anything, it makes her sworn testimony even more critical. Congress’s oversight doesn’t stop when an official leaves office.”
“Pam Bondi was subpoenaed by name, not by title,” Mace added in a separate statement.
