The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday formally subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Jeffrey Epstein case, according to committee records.

Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, issued the subpoena requiring Bondi to appear for a deposition on April 14. The subpoena directs Bondi to answer questions about files related to the Epstein investigation.

The committee had previously voted earlier this month to authorize the subpoena following a motion from Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina. Mace cited concerns about whether the Justice Department had fully turned over all records related to the convicted sex trafficker's case.

The subpoena represents the committee's latest effort to obtain information about the Justice Department's handling of matters related to Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The committee is seeking testimony from Bondi regarding the department's management of Epstein-related files and records.

Bondi was confirmed as Attorney General following her nomination by President Trump. The April 14 deposition date will require her to provide testimony under oath about the Justice Department's handling of the high-profile case.
