Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This resolution would direct the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to go to federal court within 30 days of approval. The court case would ask a judge to declare that Pamela J. Bondi must comply with a March 17, 2026 committee subpoena for deposition testimony. The subpoena is part of the committee's investigation into federal enforcement of sex trafficking laws and the Justice Department's handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The House Office of General Counsel would represent the committee, could hire private lawyers, and the chair would report to the House on the case.
