India, April 30 -- Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to appear before the House Oversight Committee on May 29, placing renewed attention on one of Washington's most politically sensitive issues: the Justice Department's handling of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The hearing follows weeks of conflict over subpoenas, missed testimony and accusations from both parties.

At the heart of the controversy is whether the Department of Justice properly complied with transparency requirements and whether key records were delayed, over-redacted or mishandled. Bondi's appearance now becomes more than a routine congressional interview while it is a test of accountability, process and political trust.
