Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Tuesday that Democrats will move to hold former Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt for failing to appear for a deposition as part of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein probe.

“Pam Bondi refused to show up for today’s Oversight deposition — defying our lawful subpoena,” Crockett wrote on social platform X. “We couldn’t care less that she was fired from her job as Attorney General. She is responsible for leading the White House cover-up of the Epstein files.

“Since she didn’t show up, Oversight Democrats will move to hold her in contempt of Congress. The survivors deserve justice — and we will get answers. Enough is enough.”

The Oversight panel subpoenaed Bondi last month, before President Trump dismissed her as attorney general on April 2. Less than a week after her departure from the administration, a spokesperson for the committee said the Department of Justice indicated that Bondi would not comply with the initial subpoena.

“The Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on April 14 for a deposition since she is no longer Attorney General and was subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General,” the spokesperson said.
