Friend – Pam Bondi is no longer Attorney General. But that does not mean she is off the hook. In fact, her firing has only made one thing clearer: the Department of Justice’s mishandling of the Epstein files demands even more scrutiny, not less. Even now, members of Congress from both parties are still pushing to hear from her under oath. Bondi was already under subpoena before she was removed from office, after a bipartisan vote forced the issue. And despite her departure, key Republican lawmakers have not ruled out moving forward with that deposition. That matters. Because this was never just about one official. It is about a pattern of delays, incomplete disclosures, and a Justice Department that failed to meet its legal obligation to release the Epstein files in full. We know that one of the only ways to get real answers is to put Bondi under oath and force a full accounting of what the DOJ did and did not release. It is about survivors who were promised transparency and instead got stonewalling. It is about a federal investigation that raised more questions than answers. And now, even some Republicans are acknowledging that this cannot simply be brushed aside. Firing Bondi does not resolve the failures. It does not explain why the files were mishandled. It does not answer why transparency was promised but never delivered. If anything, her removal raises even more urgency to get those answers while Congress still has the authority to demand them. The Oversight Committee has the power to act. They already took the first step with a subpoena. Now they must follow through. Accountability does not disappear when someone leaves office. And neither does the truth. People For the American Way
