House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) confirmed Tuesday that both Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel will testify before Congress—addressing several matters, including the increasingly controversial Jeffrey Epstein case.

Jordan made the announcement on Newsmax, emphasizing that the committee had already been planning the testimonies before the latest wave of media hysteria. Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), have demanded subpoenas following a Department of Justice memo doubling down on the official narrative of Epstein’s 2019 death and dismissing the existence of any incriminating "client list."

But Jordan isn’t having it.

“We’re not going to subpoena the attorney general,” he stated flatly, noting that such appearances are routine and were already in the works. “We were going to invite them whether this issue was here or not. They come in front of the Judiciary Committee typically once every year. So, we’re already working with both of their offices to schedule that sometime this year. That will definitely happen.”

The DOJ and FBI recently released a memo declaring that their review of the Epstein case yielded no credible evidence of blackmail, no grounds for new investigations, and no so-called client list. Predictably, this conclusion was met with fierce skepticism—especially from conservatives who have long questioned the official story.

House Democrats, not satisfied with the DOJ’s own review, are now demanding sworn testimony not just from Bondi and Patel, but also from their respective deputies—Todd Blanche and Dan Bongino. Raskin called on Jordan to issue subpoenas if necessary. Jordan’s response was unequivocal: No.

At the center of the firestorm is Bondi’s shifting language regarding documents allegedly tied to Epstein’s network of powerful associates. In February, she told Fox News she had Epstein-related files “sitting on my desk right now,” including one that reportedly named names. But in a Cabinet meeting this month, she clarified: she never said there was a list.

“My response was, it’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed. Meaning the file, along with the JFK and MLK files,” Bondi said.

Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is demanding answers.

“She needs to come forward and explain that to everybody,” Johnson told Benny Johnson. “I think she was talking about documents, as I understood, that were on her desk. I don’t know that she was specific about a list or whatever, but she needs to clear that up.”

Speaker Johnson has been one of the loudest voices demanding transparency from the DOJ regarding everything it knows about the Epstein case. After House Republicans blocked a Democrat-led vote to force document disclosures, Johnson reiterated his position.

“It’s a very delicate subject, but you should put everything out there, let the people decide it,” he said. “I’m for transparency.”

Despite the media frenzy and Democrat attacks, President Donald J. Trump is standing firmly behind Bondi.

“She’s really done a very good job, and I think that when you look at that, you’ll understand it,” the president said Tuesday from the White House.

Speaker Johnson emphasized the need to resolve the issue swiftly and get the DOJ back to its real mission.

“We need the DOJ focusing on the major priorities,” Johnson said. “Let’s get this thing resolved so that they can deal with violent crime and public safety and election integrity and going after ActBlue and the things that the president is most concerned about.”
