Source: The Hill

“The Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on April 14 for a deposition since she is no longer Attorney General and was subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General,” a spokeswoman for the House Oversight Committee said in a statement.

“The Committee will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.”

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to request for comment.

The panel’s Democrats have refuted that argument, noting that Bondi was subpoenaed by name to sit for a deposition with the panel, as were other former attorneys general.
