Home - CBSNews.com | House Republicans seek DOJ probe of allegations raised by Epstein's assistant AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and several Republican lawmakers wrote to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche urging the Justice Department to investigate abuse allegations made by Sarah Kellen, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant. In a May interview with the committee, Kellen said she was sexually and psychologically abused by former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine and celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai while working for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and also alleged abuse by Maxwell herself. The lawmakers’ letter asked prosecutors to use all tools, including possible immunity for witnesses, to examine any criminal conduct by Levine and Fekkai. Kellen’s testimony, which the committee described as the most substantive interview to date, also highlighted that she received no contact from law‑enforcement until after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, prompting questions about earlier investigative gaps. The request represents the latest development in the Oversight Committee’s broader probe of Epstein’s network and the federal government’s handling of the case.

yahoo news | Dem Lawmaker Sheds Light Into Pam Bondi’s ‘Combative’ Hearing Where She Defended... AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D‑Va.) told CNN that former Attorney General Pam Bondi was “combative throughout” her hearing before the House Oversight Committee, refusing to meet with or acknowledge the outreach of Jeffrey Epstein survivors and claiming it would be “inappropriate.” Bondi, who appeared after a bipartisan subpoena, appeared uncomfortable with the questioning and seemed unaware of the survivors’ attempts to obtain their DOJ statements, prompting criticism that the interview should have been a sworn, videotaped deposition. Survivors such as Dani Bensky voiced frustration, accusing the DOJ of intimidation, while Subramanyam noted that Republicans on the committee often protect witnesses from answering tough questions on tape.

yahoo news | Former Attorney General Pam Bondi Arrives for Closed-Door Epstein Files... AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Oversight Committee on May 29, 2026 for a closed‑door deposition on her handling of Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein, arriving with a white throat bandage after announcing a thyroid‑cancer diagnosis. In her opening statement she acknowledged “redaction errors” in the initial release of the Epstein materials and said she had delegated the process to then‑deputy attorney general Todd Blanche. The hearing, held in Bondi’s personal capacity and attended by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon as government counsel, was framed by committee chair James Comer as an effort to provide truth and justice for Epstein survivors, who criticized the Justice Department’s past handling of the case. Bondi’s testimony is the thirteenth in the committee’s multi‑year Epstein investigation, which continues to schedule further high‑profile depositions as lawmakers push for greater transparency and the release of more unreleased files.

ABC News: Top Stories | Former Epstein assistant to appear before House committee AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Former personal assistant Sarah Kellen, who worked for convicted sex‑offender Jeffrey Epstein, is set to appear before the House Oversight Committee in a closed‑door interview as part of the panel’s broader investigation into the federal handling of the Epstein case. Court filings and Justice Department records show Kellen repeatedly alleges that Epstein psychologically dominated and sexually abused her for years, forcing her to schedule his daily massages and inadvertently facilitating the abuse of underage girls, though she claims she didn’t realize the victims were minors at the time. Federal prosecutors examined potential charges against her but ultimately decided not to pursue an indictment, citing her status as a victim coerced by Epstein. The committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, plans to hear additional witnesses—including other Epstein aides and high‑profile figures—before issuing a report later this year.

The Guardian | Howard Lutnick said he had three ‘inconsequential’ meetings with Epstein by Anna Betts AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Howard Lutnick, the U.S. commerce secretary, testified before a House oversight committee that he met Jeffrey Epstein only three times—in 2005 for coffee at Epstein’s home, in 2011 to discuss “scaffolding,” and in 2012 for a brief, “meaningless and inconsequential” lunch on Epstein’s private island—describing each encounter as insignificant and denying any personal or professional relationship or any knowledge of illegal activity. He recounted that during the 2005 visit he saw a massage table and was told Epstein received a “right kind of massage” daily, which he interpreted as possibly sexual, prompting him and his wife to sever ties. Lutnick asserted he never saw young women or girls at Epstein’s residence or island and condemned Epstein’s conduct. Democratic lawmakers criticized his testimony as evasive, while the Republican committee chair praised his transparency. Lutnick’s statements contradicted earlier comments made on a podcast and have fueled calls for his resignation as the first Trump‑administration official to appear before the panel.

ABC News: Top Stories | New date set for Bondi deposition in House Oversight's Epstein probe AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A new deposition date has been set for former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein after Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s lead Democrat, introduced a resolution to hold Bondi in civil contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Garcia announced the contempt filing on the House floor, noting that action was finally required to compel Republican cooperation. The committee confirmed that Bondi will appear on May 29, after earlier expectations for a closed‑door testimony on April 14 were nullified when the Justice Department said the subpoena no longer applied following her removal from office by President Trump. If the civil contempt effort succeeds, a federal judge could order Bondi to testify, elevating the dispute to the courts. The deposition is part of the broader, bipartisan‑criticized probe into the handling of Epstein‑related documents and the Justice Department’s implementation of the Epstein Transparency Act.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Todd Blanche Makes Thirsty Bid for Full-Time Job by Vic Verbalaitis AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former personal lawyer for Donald Trump, announced a new federal indictment against former FBI director James Comey for a 2022 Instagram post showing a seashell formation that read “86 47,” which critics interpreted as a threat to the president; the grand jury charged Comey with making a threat against the president’s life and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, each carrying up to ten years in prison. Blanche, who has taken the temporary role after Trump dismissed AG Pam Bondi, appears eager to cement his position by pursuing high‑profile cases, and framed the indictment as a necessary response to dangerous threats. Comey, who was previously indicted and then cleared after a judge dismissed the case, responded via a Substack video denying the charges, asserting his innocence, defending the independence of the federal judiciary, and vowing to contest the accusations in court. The episode underscores the ongoing legal battles between Trump’s allies and his critics, with Comey’s lawyer pledging a vigorous defense on First‑Amendment grounds.

Jezebel | Congrats to Todd Blanche on His First Epstein Lawsuit as Acting AG! by Danielle Han AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A journalist, Katie Phang, has filed a 15‑page lawsuit against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing the Justice Department of “brazen, shocking, and ongoing” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated full public release of the Epstein records by Dec. 19, 2025. Phang argues that the DOJ’s piecemeal, heavily redacted releases—initially a small batch of documents, then 30,000 files, followed months later by three million error‑filled pages that even exposed survivors’ details—failed to meet the law’s deadline and impeded her reporting. The suit follows earlier congressional efforts, including a failed push by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna for an independent monitor, and comes amid criticism of former AG Pam Bondi’s handling of the files. Phang’s filing seeks to compel the DOJ to comply with the statutory requirement and ensure transparent access to the complete Epstein documentation.

Sweden Herald - Latest Sweden News | After scandal rumblings: Third Trump secretary leaves by Sweden Herald AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. U.S. Labor Secretary Lori Chávez‑DeRemer announced she is leaving the Labor Department for the private sector amid a whistleblower‑initiated internal investigation and a Senate Judiciary Committee probe into allegations that she had an extramarital affair with a security staffer, took private trips and stayed in luxury hotels at taxpayers’ expense, drank alcohol while on duty and sent inappropriate texts to younger colleagues; her husband, Shawn DeRemer, has also been barred from the department after multiple female employees accused him of sexual harassment. Though no formal misconduct charges have been filed and President Donald Trump has called the accusations “baseless,” Deputy Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling will assume an acting role, making Chávez‑DeRemer the third Trump‑appointed secretary to depart in a short span after Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were forced out earlier in the year.

undefined | Bondi won't appear for House deposition next week in the Epstein investigation by Stephen Groves, Associated Press The Department of Justice told the House Oversight Committee that former Attorney General Pam Bondi will not attend the deposition scheduled for April 14, after she was removed from the position by President Donald Trump. Committee spokeswoman Jessica Collins said the DOJ indicated Bondi was subpoenaed “in her capacity as attorney general,” and because she no longer holds that office she will not appear. The committee plans to reach out to Bondi’s personal counsel to arrange a new date. Bondi has been under intense scrutiny for the Justice Department’s release of the “Epstein files,” a massive cache of documents related to the late financier’s abuse of under‑age girls. The release was riddled with errors and delayed beyond the deadline set by Congress, prompting a bipartisan subpoena last month. After Trump announced her ouster on April 2, Bondi said she would work “tirelessly to transition the office,” while Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche assumed the agency’s top duties on an acting basis, and the DOJ website still listed Bondi as attorney general. Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who led the motion to compel Bondi’s appearance, warned that the subpoena was issued “by name, not by title” and that Bondi cannot avoid accountability simply because she is no longer in office. Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia threatened contempt of Congress if she fails to testify, and Republican committee chair Rep. James Comer, who previously enforced subpoenas on high‑profile officials, signaled that the committee will continue to press for her testimony.

yahoo news | Pam Bondi Is Now Trying to Duck Out of Testifying About Epstein Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, is refusing to appear for a scheduled deposition before the House Oversight Committee on April 14. The committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R‑Ky.), issued a statement saying the Department of Justice “has stated Pam Bondi will not appear…since she is no longer Attorney General and was subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General.” In a letter obtained by CNN, Assistant Attorney General Patrick D. Davis asked that the subpoena be withdrawn, arguing that Bondi’s former official status no longer obligates her to testify. Bondi’s earlier appearance before Congress in February was widely criticized; she stumbled over basic questions about the Justice Department’s mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the agency’s failure to comply with the Epstein Transparency Act, and the protection of survivors’ personal information. The fallout from that testimony, combined with President Donald Trump’s recent removal of Bondi from her post, has intensified calls from both parties for her to be held accountable for actions taken while she was attorney general. In a joint letter, Reps. Ro Khanna (D‑Calif.) and Nancy Mace (R‑S.C.) urged the committee to reaffirm that Bondi must appear for a sworn deposition, warning that congressional oversight does not end when an official leaves office. They and other lawmakers, including Rep. Robert Garcia (D‑Calif.), said that failure to comply could result in contempt charges, emphasizing that accountability for the alleged suppression of Epstein‑related evidence remains a priority regardless of Bondi’s current employment status.

undefined | Former attorney general Pam Bondi will not testify on Epstein files next week, justice department says Pam Bondi, the former U.S. attorney general, will not appear for the April 14 deposition the House Oversight Committee scheduled to question her about the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The department informed the committee that Bondi was “subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General,” but she was removed from that post by President Donald Trump the week before, leaving her without the authority to comply. Committee staff confirmed to the BBC that Bondi will not testify next week. Republican member Nancy Mace argued that the subpoena still obliges Bondi to appear, noting that her loss of the attorney‑general title “does not erase her obligation to testify and does not end Congressional oversight.” She urged committee chairman James Comer to publicly reaffirm Bondi’s legal duty to be deposed. Democratic ranking member Robert Garcia echoed this demand, warning that if Bondi defies the subpoena the committee will pursue contempt charges. Bondi has not issued a statement on the matter. The subpoena, issued earlier this year, sought answers about possible mismanagement of the Justice Department’s probe into Epstein and the release of related documents required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Lawmakers have pressed for full disclosure of the millions of files the agency released, after criticism that some survivor information was redacted and that non‑victim identities were protected. The committee has already secured testimony from high‑profile figures such as the Clintons and has scheduled Bill Gates to testify in June, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick expected to appear soon.

bing news | Pam Bondi Backs Out Of Deposition On Jeffrey Epstein Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is refusing to sit for a deposition scheduled for April 14 before the House Oversight Committee that is investigating the government’s files on Jeffrey Epstein. The committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R‑Ky.), issued a subpoena to Bondi after a bipartisan vote—five Republicans joined all Democrats—to demand her testimony in her capacity as attorney general. The Justice Department, however, told the panel that Bondi need not appear because she was fired by President Donald Trump the previous month, arguing that the subpoena “no longer applies” after the leadership transition. Committee members dispute that justification. They note that former attorneys general who left office were still required to provide sworn statements, and only former AG Bill Barr was allowed a transcribed interview. Under Bondi’s tenure, the Justice Department struggled to meet the statutory deadline for releasing the Epstein files, mistakenly redacting documents and withholding others. The released material included a 2003 birthday message from Trump to Epstein and an FBI file alleging an unverified claim that Trump sexually assaulted a minor in the 1980s, while some files remain hidden. Republican and Democratic lawmakers on the committee say Bondi’s departure does not excuse her from accountability. Rep. Nancy Mace (R‑S.C.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D‑Calif.) urged Comer to enforce the subpoena, warning that failure to appear could lead to a contempt finding. Rep. James Walkinshaw (D‑Va.) echoed the call, stating that the subpoena “did not become null and void when she was fired” and that Bondi must comply with the law.

yahoo news | Lauren Boebert Trolls Pam Bondi With Reference To One Particularly Unhinged... Rep. Lauren Boebert (R‑Colo.) mocked former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on X shortly after President Donald Trump dismissed her. Boebert, a longtime critic of the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, seized on Bondi’s departure to highlight what she called an “unhinged” moment from the attorney general’s recent appearance before the House Judiciary Committee. During the February hearing, Bondi went “mega‑viral” when she defended her department’s work on the Epstein investigation by bragging that the Dow Jones Industrial Average had broken the 50,000‑point barrier. “The Dow right now is over — the Dow is over 50,000,” she announced, prompting laughter from committee members and an outpouring of ridicule on social media. Boebert, who was one of only four Republicans to back a discharge petition forcing the full release of the Epstein documents, used the incident to underscore her anger over the Justice Department’s “botched” handling of the case. Her post, “DOW fell below 50,000?” was a jab at Bondi’s momentary triumph and a reminder that the former attorney general’s tenure ended amid controversy and criticism.
