yahoo news | Pam Bondi Slammed By Democrats Over Epstein Hearing

House Democrats are intensifying their confrontation with former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, charging her with defying a congressional subpoena and stonewalling a probe into how the government handled records tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The subpoena, issued last month, was meant to compel Bondi to testify about the release of those files—documents that became subject to disclosure under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed in November, which requires former attorneys general to ensure such records are made public.

The Department of Justice announced on April 8 that Bondi will not appear before the House Oversight Committee because she left the attorney‑general post on April 2, a rationale Democrats dismissed as inadequate. In a social‑media statement, they called it “shameful” that Bondi continues to shield powerful men connected to Epstein and demanded she appear before the committee to answer questions. Congressman Robert Garcia warned that changing jobs does not nullify a legal subpoena and said Congress would hold Bondi in contempt if she refuses to comply.

The dispute has attracted rare bipartisan attention, underscoring the political sensitivity surrounding Epstein’s documents. While Bondi’s legal team argues that she no longer holds the authority that imposed the subpoena, Democrats maintain that the subpoena remains enforceable regardless of her current position. The next steps could involve a contempt vote by the House Oversight Committee, potentially leading to further legal action to compel her testimony.

yahoo news | Donald Trump Reacts After Melania Trump’s Epstein Remarks

Melania Trump broke her silence on the rumors linking her to Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell during a brief White House appearance on April 9. She flatly denied any friendship or substantive relationship with Epstein, calling the allegations “false smears” that damage her reputation. The former first lady emphasized that her only contact with Epstein was incidental – occasional invitations to the same parties in New York and Palm Beach – and dismissed a single email exchange with Maxwell as a casual reply, not evidence of involvement.

Donald Trump later responded to his wife’s remarks, claiming he knew nothing about her decision to speak publicly and that she was unaware of Epstein. The president’s account was immediately challenged by a source who told CNN that he had been aware of the planned statement, creating confusion over the timing and coordination of Melania’s address. The disparity between the two accounts highlighted lingering uncertainty within the Trump circle about how and when the First Lady chose to confront the accusations.

Beyond defending herself, Melania called on Congress to hold a public hearing where Epstein’s survivors could testify under oath, urging lawmakers to act quickly. Representative Robert Garcia and other officials voiced support for the request, while the broader fallout from Epstein’s case continues to reverberate, with Maxwell still serving a prison sentence after her 2021 conviction. Melania’s unprecedented public statement has refocused attention on the lingering questions surrounding the former president’s social circles and the ongoing pursuit of accountability for Epstein’s crimes.
