Former Attorney General of the United States
5 articlesFormer Attorney General Pam Bondi did not appear for a bipartisan Oversight Committee deposition on April 14, 2026, despite a legally binding subpoena. On April 29, House Oversight Democrats filed a civil contempt resolution. Within 45 minutes, Republicans confirmed a new date: Bondi will give a transcribed interview on May 29.

A Trump-appointed federal judge dismissed the DOJ's demand for Rhode Island's unredacted voter rolls -- the fifth consecutive loss for a legal campaign that has sued 30 states and DC for their residents' Social Security numbers and driver's license data.

Federal courts in Louisiana and Texas have entered binding consent decrees restricting CDC, CISA, the Surgeon General, and the State Department from coercing social media companies to suppress speech -- the first court-ordered limits on government-platform relations, though significant gaps remain.

The Justice Department told the House Oversight Committee that Pam Bondi's subpoena is no longer binding because Trump fired her as AG, but lawmakers from both parties say it was issued to her by name and threaten contempt charges.
