Bondi firing forces top Republican to scramble ahead of high-stakes Epstein testimony

Top House Republicans were reportedly scrambling after Attorney General Pam Bondi's firing threw a wrench into her possible testimony on files related to Jeffrey Epstein."Since Pam Bondi is no longer Attorney General, Chairman Comer will speak with Republican members and the Department of Justice about the status of the deposition subpoena and confer on next steps," a spokesperson for the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee told NBC News correspondent Ryan Nobles."I don't think Democrats are going to give up on that conversation easily," Fox News host Shannon Bream noted on Thursday.One Fox Business anchor pointed out that the Trump administration had fallen short after promising transparency on the Epstein files."Wasn't she subpoenaed by a House committee on the Epstein files?" he asked. "I think, so I don't know if that's, maybe that doesn't happen now.... There were these big promises... big promises of information. And then it always seemed like it. It was a thud, a dud. Nothing happened. And people were like, wait a second. We thought we were going to get transparency. It feels like we're just getting obfuscation."
