Five Republicans on the House oversight committee joined with Democrats to subpoena the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, as part of the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The House oversight committee voted 24-19 to approve a motion introduced by Republican representative Nancy Mace to compel Bondi to testify. In addition to Mace, Republican representatives Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Michael Cloud of Texas, and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania voted for the motion.
The motion comes amid growing criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle of the Department of Justice’s failures regarding the Epstein files, including accidentally releasing the names of survivors and redacting, without explanation, the names of people who may have committed crimes.

Yea was here for that. Guy I went to HS with, was on duty that night and joined the chase. Didn’t fire any shots but was on scene at the time it happened.
He testified truthfully during the trial, and wouldn’t you know he had to throw away a 10+ year career because after that all the other cops hated and harassed him.
During that murder, one of the cops jumped up on the hood off the car after it was stopped and unloaded his entire magazine down straight into the people inside.
Protect and serve my ass. And of course heaven forbid if we ever hold law enforcement accountable.
Not so hot take… Regular police should not have guns. Not with less lethal alternatives now which they already carry as well. If guns are necessary, that’s for SWAT.
If they don’t have their 9mm Universal Problem Solver, they’ll have to actually deescalate and work through situations.
