No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section exhibits articles of impeachment against Pamela Bondi, Attorney General of the United States, in the name of the House of Representatives and the people of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
This section impeaches Attorney General Pamela Bondi for obstruction of Congress by willfully disobeying a subpoena issued by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on August 5, 2025, to produce the Jeffrey Epstein files. The section states that Bondi withheld substantial evidence, including FBI interview materials with a survivor accusing Donald J. Trump of sexual abuse, and substituted her judgment for that of the House in determining which materials to produce, thereby shielding named political leaders and other influential figures from congressional oversight.
This section charges Attorney General Pamela Bondi with obstruction of Congress for defying the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA). The EFTA, signed into law on November 19, 2025, requires production of all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials relating to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell by the December 19, 2025 statutory deadline and prohibits redactions or withholdings based on embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity. This section states that the Department of Justice released a purportedly final set of 3 million pages in January 2025 that were heavily redacted, continued to withhold additional materials including FBI interviews with a survivor accusing Donald J. Trump of sexual abuse, and released at least dozens of sensitive documents containing nude photographs and personally identifiable information of Epstein victims.
This section enumerates seven actions by Attorney General Pamela Bondi that abused the investigatory and prosecutorial powers of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (1) terminating without cause the Director of the Departmental Ethics Office; (2) terminating career public servants for carrying out duties in investigations and prosecutions disfavored by her and President Trump, including those involving Trump, his allies, Jeffrey Epstein, and January 6, 2021, Capitol attackers; (3) ordering politically motivated investigations into Trump’s opponents including former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Senator Adam Schiff, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, and six members of Congress, with some indictments dismissed and a grand jury declining to indict; (4) closing investigations and dismissing lawsuits involving Trump allies and connected persons, such as an investigation of Tom Homan’s retention of $50,000 cash, corruption charges against former Mayor Eric Adams, a discrimination suit against SpaceX, fraud charges against a doctor falsifying COVID-19 vaccination cards, charges against defendants represented by her brother, charges against Boeing related to two crashes killing 346 people, and foreign corruption cases including one against her former client Pfizer; (5) targeting journalists including arresting Don Lemon and raiding the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson; (6) prosecuting protesters of immigration policies and publicly sharing their names and photographs; and (7) redefining domestic terrorism to target Antifa-aligned extremists defined as those holding opposing viewpoints on immigration, gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment, including creating secret lists, anonymous reporting hotlines, and prioritizing their investigation and prosecution.
This section sets forth Article IV of the articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pamela Bondi for defying court orders, evading judicial oversight, and misleading judges to enable actions that violate U.S. law and the Constitution. The article specifies four means of implementation: (1) lying to or withholding information from the courts in the James Comey indictment to the grand jury, including a memo from prosecutors against the prosecution; (2) withholding information about an applicable law from a magistrate judge to obtain a warrant to search and seize materials from a journalist’s home; (3) misleading a judge about the involvement of senior officials in the decision to bring criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia; and (4) presenting demonstrably false allegations in court to support prosecutions against protesters while inaccurately presenting the law.
This section establishes Article V of the impeachment resolution against Attorney General Pamela Bondi for perjury in congressional testimony. It alleges that Bondi willfully provided false and misleading testimony under oath on January 15, 2025, before the Senate Judiciary Committee concerning politicization of the Department of Justice and targeting of journalists, including her statements that she believes in freedom of speech only if a crime is committed and that she would not politicize the office or target individuals based on political affiliation. It further alleges that on February 11, 2026, before the House Judiciary Committee, Bondi provided false testimony regarding Ghislaine Maxwell’s detention in Bureau of Prisons facilities and evidence against Donald J. Trump in the Epstein investigation, including her statements that she did not know Maxwell was transferred to a lower-level facility and that there is no evidence Donald Trump committed a crime. The section concludes that these acts warrant Bondi’s impeachment, trial, and removal from office.
