Democrats move to impeach Pam Bondi after ‘fake’ Jeffrey Epstein briefing – US politics live

Democrats are moving to impeach Attorney General Pam Bondi after she refused to commit to testifying under oath during a closed-door briefing about her handling of Epstein-related matters, despite being issued a subpoena. The briefing prompted Democratic lawmakers to walk out in protest, with anger mounting over what they characterize as her evasiveness on a high-profile case. Bondi's refusal to pledge compliance with an oath raises questions about the Trump administration's willingness to cooperate with congressional oversight on sensitive matters. An impeachment effort would represent a dramatic escalation of tensions between the White House and Democrats over executive branch accountability. The cancellation of Trump's working lunch with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to extend their summit underscores the administration's focus on international relations during the controversy.
