Today, the AG’s office tried to inform the Oversight Committee that Pam Bondi would not appear for her deposition.

I hope she is ready to face contempt. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you at your deposition.

AG or not—those responsible will be held accountable. Survivors deserve justice.

Congress cannot dispatch US Marshals.

US Marshals are controlled by the DOJ and the AG.

(snip)

The committee's head, Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, enforced subpoenas on Bill and Hillary Clinton this year, making the ex-president and ex-secretary of state, respectively, among the highest-ranking former government officials ever to be subpoenaed by Congress.
