共和党主导的众议院监督委员会投票决定传召美国司法部长帕姆·邦迪，要求其就自己在杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关文件解密过程中所扮演的角色作证，这是该委员会对已故性犯罪者爱泼斯坦调查的一部分。
共和党众议员南希·梅斯提出了传召司法部长的动议，投票结果为24票赞成、19票反对，其中有两党议员支持。梅斯得到了民主党人和共和党同僚蒂姆·伯切特、迈克尔·克劳德、劳伦·博伯特以及斯科特·佩里的支持。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）已联系司法部请求置评。
梅斯在一场与爱泼斯坦案完全无关的听证会上推动了此次投票。这是监督委员会对爱泼斯坦展开全面调查的最新举措，此前国会去年通过了一项法律，要求司法部公开所有与爱泼斯坦相关的调查文件。
截至目前，司法部公布的文件引发了两党议员的不满，批评者认为这些文件存在过度删改，并要求提高透明度。
与此同时，众议院监督委员会还在持续调查中，已要求多名知名人士提供证词。
周二，委员会宣布商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克同意在未来某个日期出席听证会，并已向其他七人发出了自愿作证的请求。
在周三投票前，监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默告诉委员会成员，他已与司法部长的首席幕僚进行了沟通，邦迪已提出分批次向委员会成员简要介绍司法部掌握的爱泼斯坦相关文件情况。

House Oversight panel votes to subpoena AG Pam Bondi in Epstein probe

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena US Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony about her role in the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files as part of the committee’s probe into the late convicted sex offender.
GOP Rep. Nancy Mace moved to subpoena the attorney general and it passed 24-19, with bipartisan support. Mace was joined by Democrats and fellow Republicans Tim Burchett, Michael Cloud, Lauren Boebert and Scott Perry.
CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
Mace forced the vote during a hearing unrelated to Epstein altogether. It’s the latest move in the panel’s expansive investigation into Epstein and comes after Congress passed a law last year requiring the DOJ to publicly release all of its investigative files related to Epstein.
The Justice Department’s release of the files so far has prompted complaints from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, with critics saying they believe the files were overly redacted and demanding greater transparency.
The House Oversight Committee, meanwhile, has sought testimony from a number of of high-profile figures as part of its ongoing probe.
On Tuesday, the committee announced that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had agreed to appear before the panel at a future date and that it had requested voluntary testimony from seven others.
Ahead of the Wednesday vote, Oversight Chairman James Comer told the committee he had spoke with the attorney general’s chief of staff, and that Bondi had offered to give members a briefing – a few at a time – regarding the Department of Justice’s Epstein files.
