Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is escalating pressure on former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding she comply with a congressional subpoena tied to the federal government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

In a series of social media posts, Mace stressed that the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena is directed at Bondi personally, not the office she once held, and warned that failure to comply could lead to contempt proceedings.

Mace said the committee expects Bondi’s deposition to be rescheduled promptly and emphasized that leaving public office does not shield her from congressional oversight. She added that if Bondi continues to refuse compliance, she should face contempt of Congress.

The subpoena stems from a motion approved by Oversight Republicans seeking Bondi’s testimony regarding the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein-related matters and compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The motion explicitly names Bondi, underscoring that the inquiry is focused on her individual actions.

Mace’s push reflects broader frustration among some Republicans who argue that past officials failed to ensure accountability in the Epstein case. Critics have frequently pointed to Epstein’s 2008 plea deal in Florida, which allowed him to avoid federal prosecution and serve limited jail time, as a major breakdown in the justice system.

While Bondi has denied wrongdoing and was not directly responsible for that agreement, some lawmakers contend that later opportunities to expand investigations into Epstein’s network were not fully pursued.

Calls for transparency have grown in recent years, with lawmakers in both parties pressing for the release of additional records tied to Epstein and his associates. The Epstein Files Transparency Act is part of that broader effort to compel disclosure and provide further answers about the case.
