Comer takes heat over arrangements for Bondi interview on Epstein files
Bondi was subpoenaed for a deposition in March, but Comer agreed to let Bondi sit for a transcribed interview, a different format in which subjects are not sworn in and the interview is not videotaped. Speaking with reporters Friday before the start of the interview, Comer described Bondi as coming in “voluntarily” for a second time, noting she also organized a prior closed-door meeting with the panel that Democrats had described as an effort to sidestep the subpoena. Unfortunately, the Democrats got up and walked out of that briefing.
