Bondi will appear May 29 for a deposition before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, a panel spokesperson said Wednesday.
The announcement came just after committee Democrats said they would pursue contempt charges against Bondi after she failed to appear for an earlier deposition as part of Oversight’s investigation into Epstein and the Department of Justice’s handling of the federal inquiry.
In a sign of Republican efforts to quickly preempt Democrats’ action, Rep. Robert Garcia was taken by surprise by the development during a news conference Wednesday morning to roll out the contempt resolution.
