Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will testify before the House Oversight Committee on May 29 regarding her role in handling the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, Republican committee members announced Wednesday.

The testimony comes after weeks of demands from Democratic committee members for Bondi to appear before the panel, despite her departure from the attorney general position. Republicans on the committee confirmed they had secured Bondi's appearance for the scheduled date.

The announcement was made shortly after Democrats filed a civil contempt resolution against Bondi, according to committee sources. The timing suggests ongoing tension between committee members over the pace and scope of the Epstein investigation.

The House Oversight Committee has been conducting an investigation into matters related to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The committee's inquiry appears to focus on the handling and release of documents connected to Epstein's case.

Bondi's testimony is expected to address her actions as attorney general regarding the Epstein files, though specific details about what documents or decisions will be discussed have not been publicly disclosed. The May 29 appearance will mark a significant development in the committee's ongoing investigation into the matter.
