US EditionDemocrats Storm Out of Justice Department Leaders' Briefing on the Epstein Files
House Democrats demand Attorney General Pam Bondi comply with a subpoena for sworn testimony on Epstein case files after walking out of a closed briefing over lack of cameras.
- On Wednesday, House Democrats walked out of a closed-door briefing because cameras were barred, and they said they would press to enforce a subpoena for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s sworn deposition next month.
- Bondi repeatedly declined to commit to subpoena compliance during the briefing, while Democrats pressed her and Blanche to address bipartisan frustration over more than 3 million pages of Justice Department documents.
- House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said Bondi and Blanche answered 'substantive questions' and dismissed the walkout as political grandstanding, with Republicans defending their cooperation.
- Justice Department leaders say the document releases were meant to end the saga, yet scrutiny continues as Democrats demand sworn testimony, with Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost saying, 'We want her under oath because we do not trust her,'.
- After missing the Dec. 19 deadline, the Justice Department said it tasked hundreds of lawyers with reviewing records amid pressure from online sleuths and conspiracy theorists.
