Article I: Obstruction of Congress—Defiance of subpoena

In her conduct of the office of Attorney General of the United States, Pamela Bondi, contrary to her oath faithfully to execute the office of Attorney General of the United States and, to the best of her ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of her constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has failed without lawful cause or excuse to produce the materials, papers, and things contained in the Jeffrey Epstein files, as directed by the duly authorized subpoena issued to the U.S. Department of Justice by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on August 5, 2025, and willfully disobeyed such subpoena. The Epstein files contain information related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and was deemed necessary by the Committee in order to resolve fundamental, factual questions relating to Jeffrey Epstein’s ties with political leaders and other influential figures; and to their knowledge of, participation in, or cover up of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, assault, and trafficking of children and women. The Department of Justice refused to adhere to the subpoena and withheld substantial evidence; evidence logs indicate that amongst the withheld evidence are FBI interviews with a survivor who accuses Trump of sexual abuse. In refusing to produce the whole and unredacted Epstein files and the materials, documents, and other things contained therein, Pamela Bondi, substituting her judgment as to what materials were necessary for the inquiry of Congress, interposed the powers of the Department of Justice against the lawful subpoena of the House of Representatives, thereby assuming to herself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of powers vested by the Constitution in the House of Representatives. In so doing, Pamela Bondi knowingly and intentionally abused the power of her office to shield individuals named in the Epstein files such as political leaders and other influential individuals, including Donald J. Trump, from accountability and oversight by Congress. In all of this, Pamela Bondi has acted in a manner contrary to her trust as Attorney General and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore, Pamela Bondi, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
