The House issued a subpoena for which individual over the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files?

• A. Pam Bondi
• B. Merrick Garland
• C. Hillary Clinton
• D. James Comey

Answer: (A)

Subpoenas in Congress are used to compel witnesses who have direct information about how a matter was handled by government bodies. When lawmakers investigate how the DOJ managed the Epstein files, they look for someone with a direct connection to the Epstein matter who could shed light on what documents existed, what decisions were made, and who had access to them.

Pam Bondi fits that description because, in the context of the Epstein case, she had a direct role connected to the matter at the state level in Florida. That makes her a plausible person for the House to question to understand the flow of information and actions related to the Epstein files. The other individuals listed are prominent federal figures or public figures not as tightly tied to the specific handling of these files in the way Bondi was, so they’re less likely targets for this particular inquiry.
