This section exhibits articles of impeachment by the House of Representatives against Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General of the United States, in the name of the House and the people of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
This section impeaches Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi for obstruction of Congress. It charges that she willfully violated Public Law 119–38 by failing to release all unclassified Epstein-related records in a searchable and downloadable format within 30 days of enactment, with the Department of Justice releasing only approximately 3.5 million of 6 million pages of documents, photographs, and videos as of February 13, 2026. It further charges that on January 30, 2026, the Department released at least 40 unredacted nude photographs of victims, including some who were underage, along with names, phone numbers, and addresses of victims whose counsel had requested nondisclosure, in violation of the law’s permitted withholdings for victim personally identifiable information and child sexual abuse materials. It states that she defied a bipartisan House Oversight Committee subpoena issued August 5, 2025, for documents and communications related to the Epstein files. It additionally charges that, during February 11, 2026, testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, she misrepresented under oath the Mueller investigation’s findings on Russian interference in the 2016 election and the existence of evidence that Donald Trump committed a crime. The section concludes that these actions demonstrate she is unfit to serve and warrant her impeachment, removal from office, and disqualification from future federal office.
This section establishes Article II of impeachment against Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi for dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice. It specifies five instances of conduct: (1) the February 10, 2025, Department of Justice directive to drop criminal corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, which prompted the resignations of U.S. Attorney Danielle Renee Sassoon, lead prosecutor Hagan Scotten, acting Criminal Division head Kevin Driscoll, acting Public Integrity Section head John Keller, and three other prosecutors; (2) the May 2025 legal opinion authorizing transfer of a $400 million Qatari jet to President Donald Trump without congressional consent required by the Foreign Emoluments Clause, with retrofitting costs drawn from the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Program; (3) the September 20, 2025, closure of the FBI probe into Tom Homan regarding a $50,000 cash bribe; (4) 2025 directives to the Department of Homeland Security to violate federal court injunctions on deportation flights to El Salvador, misrepresent facts in court, and avoid email communications subject to FOIA; and (5) 2025 Department of Justice actions benefiting cases represented by Bondi’s brother Brad Bondi, including dismissal of charges against a Florida woman in August 2025 and a Missouri property developer facing felony wire fraud charges, without recusal.
This section establishes an article of impeachment against Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi for willfully and systematically refusing to comply with the law through the weaponization and politicization of the Department of Justice. It specifies eight instances: (1) establishment of the Weaponization Working Group on February 5, 2025, to review civil and criminal enforcement activities over the prior four years, with a focus on Special Counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James; (2) opening of a criminal investigation into Letitia James in May 2025 for mortgage fraud, which a judge later dismissed on grounds that the interim U.S. attorney was not lawfully appointed; (3) launch of the Civil Rights Fraud Initiative on May 19, 2025, targeting public universities and other institutions for alleged False Claims Act violations related to DEIA programs; (4) firing of three Federal prosecutors involved in January 6 cases on June 28, 2025, with additional dismissals of Department of Justice staff in July 2025; (5) indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on September 25, 2025, for false statements and obstruction, later dismissed on the same appointment grounds; (6) initiation of a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on January 10, 2026, for false statements regarding building renovations; (7) demand on January 23, 2026, to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for records on Medicaid, SNAP, sanctuary policies, and voter access in exchange for ending Operation Metro Surge; and (8) attempt in February 2026 to indict four Members of Congress and two Senators over a video on servicemembers' rights to disobey unlawful orders, which a grand jury declined to charge.
