James Comer, the Republican chairman, said in a letter to Bondi. “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,” he wrote. The department on Tuesday called the subpoena “completely unnecessary.” Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche were expected to provide a private briefing Wednesday to members of the committee. “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 department said in a statement. The agency said it looks forward to"continuing to provide policymakers with the facts.”The Justice Department has fiercely defended its handling of the Epstein files, saying it worked as quickly and diligently as possible to review and release millions of documents required under the law. The department has denied any accusations that it used redactions to protect certain people or improperly withheld certain materials. And it has said it immediately worked to fix any redaction errors raised by victims. Copyright 2026 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
