Rep. Robert Garcia

Pam Bondi should have had to testify under oath and videotaped, but Republicans refused. Now the transcript is clear: Bondi mentioned Tood Blanche 100 times. It’s time to talk to Blanche!

Donald Trump wants an Attorney General who will act as his personal attorney, and Todd Blanche has already done that job before. Corruption at the DOJ cannot continue. The Senate should oppose Mr. Blanche's nomination.

We haven't forgotten that the DOJ is withholding 50 percent of the Epstein files. Not only do we want Blanche, Patel, and others to appear before our Committee, but we also need the remaining 3 MILLION documents to conduct a thorough investigation and get justice for survivors.

Along with @whitehouse.senate.gov and @rephuffman.bsky.social, we are fighting in court to stop the illegal construction of Trump's ballroom and the destruction of the East Wing.

I asked Pam Bondi multiple times about the Epstein files and Donald Trump, and she either deflected to Acting AG Todd Blanche or refused to answer. Blanche needs to answer questions immediately.

I've teamed up with Rep. Derek Tran to demand answers from GKN Aerospace following the incident at their Garden Grove facility. This was a serious failure that must never happen again in California or anywhere across the country.

It is outrageous that Donald Trump negotiated a $1.8 billion fund with himself, so that election deniers and January 6ers could benefit. Fortunately, the courts are pushing back.

Pam Bondi deflected responsibility for the Epstein files over 30 times while a top DOJ lawyer stopped her from answering any questions about the President. Republicans need to release the transcript now.

This White House is the most corrupt Administration in history. But our work on Epstein and recent court wins like those on the Kennedy Center and Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fun prove that when we fight, we can win and slow the Trump agenda.

We asked Pam Bondi about Ghislaine Maxwell's prison transfer. She claimed not to know about it and instead placed blame on Acting AG Todd Blanche and the Bureau of Prisons. We have a lot more questions, especially for Mr. Blanche, and Republicans should join us in asking them.

I asked the Former AG multiple times about her conversations with President Trump: what he knew, what he told her to do, and she refused to answer ANY questions about the President. She refused over and over again to answer any questions about Trump. Why?

No more lies. No more cover-ups. It’s time for Pam Bondi to answer our questions.

There is no reason we should not videotape Pam Bondi's interview. This is an important moment for the Epstein investigation, and she has a lot to answer for. Republicans videotaped and released other interviews, so why not this one? Stop the White House cover-up.

As the first Peruvian-American to serve in Congress, I love celebrating our incredible food and the many small businesses owned by Peruvian-Americans like Aji Cuisine in Long Beach. Thank you, Rosita, for the warm welcome and delicious food!

Howard Lutnick has lied to the American public and to Congress about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. This is unacceptable behavior coming from a Cabinet official. Secretary Lutnick should resign or be fired.

Oversight Democrats are going to investigate the Trump slush fund and anyone who is taking money from this theft of taxpayer dollars.

Donald Trump is stealing from American taxpayers in broad daylight, and Republican leaders in Congress are silent. Democrats are committed to investigating anybody who receives money from this fund because the public deserves to know how this happened.

Donald Trump is stealing your money to give to his allies, friends, and possibly even those who stormed the Capitol on January 6. To give even a single penny to the January 6ers would be an insult to law enforcement and to our democracy. We will not stand for it.

Trump said he didn't care about the American people's finances, and he meant it. Across the country, we're seeing gas prices and inflation skyrocket, but the President would rather spend our hard-earned money abroad or give it to his billionaire friends. You deserve better.

As Americans struggle with rising costs, the Trump family is getting richer. Jared Kushner continues to rake in millions of dollars from Gulf states, all while representing this Administration in negotiations in the Middle East. This is major corruption, and we WILL investigate.

Oversight Democrats are demanding that Pam Bondi's deposition be under oath, videotaped, and released to the public immediately. Chairman Comer hasn't committed to doing any of that. The American people deserve better transparency.

Trump and his allies are trying to suppress voters, particularly Black Americans, and deny fair representation in Congress. Right now, they are redrawing maps and gerrymandering communities ahead of the midterms. This is an attack on democracy, and we must continue pushing back.

Pam Bondi is under a legal subpoena to testify before our committee. Meanwhile, Chairman Comer is continuing this White House cover up by allowing Pam Bondi to “testify” in a closed meeting. We won’t accept anything less than real transparency.

I spoke to people detained at the Orange County Jail in Orlando, and I am horrified by their stories. One gentleman got picked up while driving for Uber. Despite having all the necessary paperwork, he was still arrested for no reason. We will continue to fight these abuses.

Acting AG Todd Blanche wants to stop talking about Epstein, but that’s not going to happen. There is so much more to this investigation: 50 percent of the files haven’t been released. Pam Bondi needs to testify. Survivors deserve justice.

Roza was just 18 when she was lured from abroad to pursue modeling in 2008. She was then trafficked to Jeffrey Epstein AFTER his conviction and sweetheart deal that allowed him to keep abusing girls. Roza's testimony was horrific, but her courage inspires us to keep fighting.

Jeffrey Epstein was enabled not just by the powerful men around him, but by the failure of Alex Acosta to pursue charges against Epstein’s network. These men are the reason hundreds of women and girls were abused, and we are not stopping until we bring them to justice.

Time and time again, survivors were denied justice because their government refused to listen. We're demanding that Chairman Comer video record Pam Bondi's deposition in a few weeks and release it to the public. The survivors deserve better transparency.

Tomorrow, Epstein survivors will join us in Palm Beach to give their testimony to the Oversight Committee in a hearing format for the first time. It’s time to get to the truth — we’re not going to stop fighting for justice until we get it.

Some of the worst ICE and DHS abuses that are happening in this country are happening in the state of Florida. I joined @frost.house.gov and @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social in Orlando to hear directly from folks on the ground. Their stories should outrage every single American.

Cudahy and Bell Gardens are getting more funds to help make their parks even better for families, teens and kids. I’m proud to deliver these resources to reinvest in our communities.

Why is Chairman Comer refusing to videotape Pam Bondi's interview and release it to the public? This was the AG who was at the center of the White House Epstein cover-up. The American people deserve transparency.

Howard Lutnick tried to distance himself from Epstein by repeating a story that simply doesn't line up with the facts. If a Cabinet Secretary lies to the American public, they should no longer serve in that position. Mr. Lutnick should resign or be fired.

Wonderful to present the City of Downey with more than $1.2 million for local projects to help their downtown keep growing and make Rio San Gabriel Park even better. These are going to continue to be huge assets for the community.

The White House SHOULD be preparing for oversight investigations. We are going to have tough questions and subpoenas. Oversight Democrats are committed to investigating Epstein and Trump family corruption, and we won't stop until we get the truth.

We are committed to accountability and the truth. Whether it’s Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, or Stephen Miller, Oversight Democrats are going to take on EVERY instance of corruption in this Administration. We will get answers.

Our Epstein investigation has always been about centering the survivors. Next week, Oversight Democrats are hosting a hearing in Palm Beach to hear directly from them. We won’t stop fighting until we get the truth.

While we’re spending billions on Trump’s illegal war, gas prices are through the roof and families are struggling. We need to end this war now and focus on making things affordable for American families.

Proud to have founded the Popular Arts Caucus and to have hosted our 3rd Free Comics Day in the Capitol! Thank you to the Library of Congress, participating stores, and everyone who stopped by our event this week. Comics power the economy.

Trump and his family are making themselves richer off the backs of the American people as working class people struggle. We are investigating the grift and won’t stop until we get real accountability.

After avoiding us for weeks, it only took 45 minutes for Pam Bondi to schedule her hearing in front of our Committee, once we filed contempt charges. She's going to face some tough questions. We're fighting for survivors, and we're not going to stop until we get justice.

After we put the pressure on her by filing contempt charges today, Pam Bondi finally scheduled her hearing before the Oversight Committee. We look forward to seeing her — but if she skips out, we’re holding her in contempt.

45 minutes after we filed contempt charges against Pam Bondi for illegally defying our subpoena, Oversight Republicans finally announce a date for her testimony. Survivors deserve justice, and we will do whatever it takes to get to the truth.

I’m introducing the Piers Reinvestment Act to help fix our nation’s piers. These are important parts of our community infrastructure, but there isn’t much federal funding available to maintain them. Let’s fix that.

Donald Trump is ripping off the American public to enrich himself, his family, and his friends. This is the most corrupt Administration history, and they are not even hiding it anymore. They should be held accountable.

Thank you and congratulations to our spring interns and fellows who are wrapping up their time in DC. Your contributions to the Oversight Committee and my congressional office are truly invaluable. Wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

Donald Trump and his family are stealing your wealth and your hard-earned labor. It is pure corruption, and Oversight Democrats won’t rest until we hold them all accountable.

Democrats are making sure that folks like Kash Patel and Stephen Miller are held accountable for causing harm and violating our Constitution. This is the most corrupt Administration in history. The American people deserve accountability.

One year ago, I was in El Salvador demanding justice for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Andry Romero. Today, the fight against Trump's illegal immigration agenda continues. Thanks to the lawyers who fought to protect our rights, we've made great progress. And we're not backing down.

We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased. We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.

Oversight Republicans are canceling hearings and hosting “round tables” where there are no rules; no motions or subpoenas allowed; and Democrats can’t call witnesses. They’re scared that we’ll get to the truth in our Epstein investigation. Well, we won’t stop until we do.

Presented the City of Signal Hill with $2,000,000 in federal funds that is going to turn this empty lot into affordable housing for local families. Let’s keep investing in housing.

Kash Patel has no business running the FBI. Even sources in the White House know he’s a liability. He needs to resign immediately.

The DOJ should not work for the White House; it works for the American people. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was Trump’s former personal lawyer. He absolutely should not be the next AG.

Pam Bondi skipped showing up for her hearing and she continues to avoid our committee. Unfortunately for her, she has no choice but to negotiate coming in — or she’ll be held in contempt. We want answers from her, and we’re not stopping until we get them.

There's a lot the First Lady can do to help our Epstein case. She could demand that her husband release the full files. She could ensure Pam Bondi testifies before Congress. She could tell Todd Blanche that this investigation is not "over," like he says it is. And she should.

There has been no indication that Pam Bondi is actually going to comply with our subpoena, which legally requires her to testify before the Committee. In that case, we have no other choice but to move forward with contempt charges.

Pam Bondi didn’t show up for her hearing today, despite our subpoena. We’re going to begin contempt proceedings. It’s time to hold these people accountable to the laws we passed in Congress.

Our bipartisan subpoena was very clear: Pam Bondi is supposed to testify tomorrow, whether she's the AG or not. If she doesn't show up, she will face contempt.

If Melania Trump actually wants to help in our Epstein investigation, she should demand that her husband release the rest of the files and ensure Pam Bondi testifies. Survivors deserve justice.

We are at war with Iran with no clear mission while gas prices skyrocket. We need to end this war immediately.

If Melania Trump wants real justice, she should ask her husband to release the rest of the Epstein files and ensure that Pam Bondi testifies. No more distractions.

No one, and certainly not the White House, is going to distract us from our Epstein investigation. Pam Bondi must testify. It’s time to end this cover-up.

The First Lady said two important things: 1) She pushed back on Acting AG Todd Blanche & her husband’s efforts to kill this investigation. 2) She joined our efforts to call for a public hearing where survivors have an opportunity to testify.

The subpoena motion that was read on the Committee floor was addressed to "Pam Bondi." Period. It doesn't matter if she's the AG or not. She must come testify before our Committee, or she will face contempt charges.

President Trump’s threats to destroy an entire people and country are deranged and insane. He should be removed from office using the 25th Amendment.

Women and girls in this country need to be able to believe that their government will support them if something horrific happens. We must continue to center survivors like Annie, and we won’t stop until they get justice.

Oversight Democrats are committed to holding people accountable, even after they're out of office. The recent firings of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem do not absolve them from the corruption at their respective agencies.

Trump’s war in Iran has no objective and no mission. We should be focused on making healthcare, groceries, and housing more affordable, not bombing foreign nations with no plan.

My message to the former Attorney General is clear: You have the opportunity to come clean. You don't work for Donald Trump anymore. End the cover-up, and stop protecting the men who abused children and girls.

We’re glad to see Pam Bondi go, but we still need accountability. The Oversight Committee still wants to talk to her, and we expect to see her on April 14th.

Our bipartisan subpoena requires Pam Bondi to appear before our Committee, whether she's Attorney General or not. She has an opportunity now to give us the full truth about the Epstein files, and we look forward to her testimony.

There are now reports that Secretary Hegseth may have been trying to enrich himself by trading stocks related to defense companies leading up to the Iran War. We’re launching an investigation today into what appears to be both major corruption and a national security threat.

Epstein’s private investigators have been holding hard drives with critical evidence on them for decades. We’ve made it very clear that we want access to that data, and soon. The cover-up stops now.

We've just confirmed that Epstein's lawyers hired private investigators to remove potentially critical evidence from his Florida mansion. Oversight Democrats are demanding access to these hard drives and files, especially if they provide insight into Epstein's crimes.

Epstein’s lawyers hired private investigators to remove evidence from his Palm Beach mansion. This is significant information that hasn’t been accessible to the Congress or the public, and we want to know why.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs "on day one." Instead, prices keep going up. He needs to stop betraying the American people and end his war in Iran.

In the case of Arnoldo, agents beat him, called him names, and pawned his cell phone. Yet there is no evidence that those agents have been removed or investigated. In some cases, ICE and CBP agents have even been REWARDED for their horrific actions. Where is the accountability?

Arnoldo Bazan was getting breakfast with his dad at McDonald's when masked agents brutally attacked them. Arnoldo—who's only in tenth grade—was choked, demeaned, and even had to go to the hospital. What happened to him and so many others is horrific, and it has to end.

Donald Trump is raising your gas prices with a war that nobody wants. He needs to end his actions in Iran and start focusing on affordability for the American people.

Pam Bondi hosted a fake briefing to try and dodge our subpoena, refuses to meet Epstein survivors, and protects Trump over the Constitution. She’s not getting off that easy. Her hearing is soon, and we expect her there.

Pam Bondi isn’t doing her job. She’s covering for Donald Trump. She should stop denying justice to survivors and release the rest of the Epstein files. Thanks @briantylercohen.bsky.social for continuing to cover this issue.

Why are the Saudis investing BILLIONS into Jared Kushner's firm while he's putting together Middle East policy for Trump? This is the most corrupt Administration in history.

Cory Lewandowski may have set up a pay-to-play scheme inside the Department of Homeland Security. We are going to investigate and end this corruption.

Pam Bondi's fake briefing on Epstein was shameful. She's clearly trying to get out of her real hearing that will be transcribed and UNDER OATH. We won't participate in these games, and we look forward to her deposition—which is required by our bipartisan subpoena and the law.

Both Democrats and Republicans agreed to subpoena Pam Bondi — under oath, transcribed, and shared with the public. Today’s “briefing” was not that. No more games. She still has to come before our committee.

@oversightdemocrats.bsky.social and I just walked out of a fake briefing where AG Pam Bondi refused to say she would follow our subpoena and testify to our Committee under oath. She must follow the law. And we won’t participate in these games. It’s time for Bondi to testify under oath.

Trump's illegal war of choice is raising the price of gas. The American people deserve better.
