yahoo news | Epstein Victim Makes Bombshell Claim About Melania Speech
Survivors of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were taken aback on Thursday when First Lady Melania Trump publicly denied any friendship with him and urged Congress to let victims testify under oath. In a brief statement, she said she wanted to “clear my good name” and called for a permanent congressional record of each woman’s testimony. The surprise remarks prompted immediate backlash from survivors such as Marina Lacerda, who accused the first lady of shifting attention away from the ongoing fight for justice and of retraumatizing victims by demanding they relive their abuse in a political arena.
A coalition of Epstein survivors responded with an open letter criticizing the timing and tone of Melania’s comments. They highlighted the incomplete release of the Epstein Files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act—only about half of the estimated six million documents were made public, many with redacted names—calling the first lady’s demand for further testimony a deflection of responsibility. The survivors, including Marina Lacerda, Maria and Anna Farmer, demanded genuine accountability, the full release of remaining records, and a commitment from the Department of Justice and other authorities to protect victims rather than protect powerful allies.
Democratic lawmakers echoed the survivors’ concerns, with House Oversight Committee Chair Melanie Stansbury noting that the push for public hearings has been ongoing for years and that officials such as former Attorney General Pam Bondi have yet to be fully interrogated. While acknowledging Melania’s willingness to weigh in, they stressed that the focus should be on law‑enforcement actions and prosecutorial accountability, not on forcing victims to repeatedly recount their trauma. The article concludes that the controversy underscores a broader “miscarriage of justice” that survivors and some members of Congress say remains unaddressed.

The Department of Justice said Wednesday that Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation given that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general.
yahoo news | Pam Bondi to skip scheduled House Oversight deposition in Epstein probe
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will not appear for the April 14 deposition before the House Oversight Committee in the probe of Jeffrey Epstein, Scripps News confirmed. A committee spokeswoman said the Department of Justice notified lawmakers that Bondi, who is no longer serving as attorney general, was subpoenaed in her former capacity and therefore will not attend the scheduled hearing.
President Donald Trump removed Bondi from the post last week and named Todd Blanche as acting attorney general. Bondi has long faced bipartisan criticism over the Justice Department’s handling of the “Epstein Files” required to be released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Critics allege that key documents were withheld, that redactions were improperly applied, and that victims’ names were not consistently protected, prompting Bondi to repeatedly defend the department’s approach.
Ranking Member Rep. Robert Garcia warned that if Bondi does not testify, the committee will pursue contempt charges, emphasizing that the subpoena applies regardless of her current title. “Our bipartisan subpoena is to Pam Bondi, whether she is the Attorney General or not. She must come in to testify immediately, and if she defies the subpoena, we will begin contempt charges in Congress. The survivors deserve justice,” Garcia said.

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.
