YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The congressional investigation into files related to Jeffrey Epstein is widening. The Republican-led House Oversight Committee voted on Wednesday to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi for what PBS News has learned would be a closed-door taped deposition. Five Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the measure.

Bondi will be the highest-ranking sitting official to appear before the panel. She had already fielded Epstein-related questions during a combative appearance before a separate committee last month. The subpoena vote comes after lawmakers requested interviews with seven other people, including the billionaires Bill Gates and Leon Black.

Separately, the Justice Department says that tens of thousands of Epstein files that were recently taken down will be reposted soon, telling PBS News, "More than 47,000 files were offline for further review and should be ready for reproduction by the end of the week."
