House Committee would go to court to enforce subpoena in sex trafficking probe

A House committee would take legal action to force a witness, Pamela J. Bondi, to testify in an investigation into sex trafficking laws and the handling of Jeffrey Epstein documents. Currently, she has not complied with a subpoena. This bill would direct the committee to go to federal court within 30 days to compel her testimony.

What Would Change

Today, Pamela J. Bondi has not testified for a House investigation into sex trafficking laws and Jeffrey Epstein documents. If this bill passes, the House Oversight Committee would go to federal court within 30 days to force her to comply with the subpoena and provide testimony.
