Directing the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives to initiate or intervene in judicial proceedings.
This resolution directs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to take legal action in federal court to enforce a subpoena issued to Attorney General Pamela Bondi. The specific goal is to obtain a court order requiring Bondi to provide deposition testimony and documents related to the government's handling of sex trafficking cases and the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The House Office of General Counsel is authorized to represent the committee in these proceedings and may hire additional private lawyers to assist. If the committee initiates or intervenes in the lawsuit, it must report its actions to the full House of Representatives as soon as possible.
