Photograph: Roberto Schmidt/AFP via Getty ImagesThe Republican-controlled House oversight committee has voted to subpoena US attorney-general Pam Bondi, in an effort to force her to answer questions about documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein. In a surprise move on Wednesday, five Republicans on the House oversight committee joined with all of the Democrats on the panel to compel Bondi to testify. The House oversight committee has also summoned Democrats with ties to Epstein in recent weeks. Bondi last month told the House judiciary committee there was “no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime”.
