Committee members say Pam Bondi skipped deposition, threaten contempt if she refuses subpoena

Committee members said Pam Bondi did not show up for a scheduled deposition with the Oversight Committee and warned they will pursue contempt if she refuses to comply with the committee's subpoena.

A committee member said, "Now you've probably already heard that Pam Bondi did not show up to her scheduled deposition with the oversight committee." Another member added that "even after being fired, she's still trying to evade our legal subpoena and cover for her former boss, Donald Trump." The speakers also invoked victims connected to Jeffrey Epstein as part of the committee's stated concerns.

The remarks stressed accountability and urged Republican members of the Oversight Committee to enforce what the speakers described as a bipartisan subpoena. "Oversight Republicans must enforce our bipartisan subpoena and schedule her testimony now," one committee member said, adding that Republicans should not "let her off the hook now and assist in the cover up." The committee members said they will continue to demand testimony and "if she doesn't, we're gonna hold her in contempt."

The transcript records no formal motion or vote on contempt; the comments in the transcript are a statement of intent and a call for enforcement rather than a documented committee action. The speakers closed by saying that if Republican colleagues do not act, Democrats "will fight back," and emphasized that "survivors deserve justice, and we demand answers."

The transcript does not include a response from Pam Bondi, records of a scheduled date or time for the deposition, or any formal vote to authorize contempt. The statements in the transcript identify a committee intent to press for compliance with a legal subpoena and to press Republican members to act on what the speakers described as a bipartisan enforcement obligation.
