Some major breaking news here.Ranking member of the House Oversight Committee Robert Garcia is now moving forward with a contempt resolution against Pam Bondi in Congress after the former Attorney General failed to appear for her scheduled sworn deposition on April 14th.The resolution will be introduced in the House, it will then go to the Rules Committee to be voted on, and if it makes it out of the committee, it then goes to the floor for a full House vote, where there should be bipartisan support considering just a few months earlier there was plenty of Republican support at the prospect of holding the Clinton in contempt for the same thing, including from the chair of the Oversight Committee himself, James Comer.

Well, here we are again.I don't think it's any secret.Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined her husband in defying a bipartisan, lawful congressional subpoena to show up today.I think what's most disappointing to the Oversight Committee is the fact that we have, in good faith, negotiated with the Clintons' attorneys for five months.Throughout the past five months, they've implied to us they were trying to make a date work.In fact, the last date we had, they notified us three days beforehand, said that they would love to come, but they have a funeral to attend.

1:13

And we have bent over backwards.to try to schedule the Clinton.I'm still talking.I'm still talking.I'm still talking.Go ahead.

1:22

Hey, get him out of here.You're not even a reporter.Get out of here.So here's the situation.We're going to hold both Clintons in criminal contempt of Congress.We believe that because this subpoena was issued in a bipartisan fashion, The Democrats acted the day that the subpoenas were voted on in the subcommittee like they wanted the Clintons to come.

1:47

And guess what?

1:48

The Clintons showed up.So the precedent now exists.Show up or face contempt charges.James Comer was prepared to hold the Clintons in contempt.They showed up.And so now, because Republicans tried to turn the Clintons

2:00

into the boogeymen here, they painted themselves into a corner as it relates to Pam Bondi, who opted NOT to do what the Clintons did, opted NOT to show up.And I know that shame is virtually non -existent in today's GOP, but it's going to be a pretty damn difficult sell for James Comer to square that circle if he decides that the rules only apply to the Democrats.Of course, the rules applying only to Democrats is precisely what the DOJ is pushing for.A few weeks back, it became clear that the DOJ was trying to claim that because Bondi was no longer Attorney General, that, somehow, the subpoena was no longer valid.The Assistant Attorney General wrote to James Comer, drawn.Only, small problem, the office of the Attorney General was not subpoenaed.

2:55

Pam Bondi was subpoenaed.And just because she's left that position does not mean that the subpoena for Pam Bondi goes away.A point that ranking member Robert Garcia made to me in a recent interview.

3:08

Does not have any mention of whether the fact, you know, she's a G or not, if his penis for Pam Bondi, and so whether she is in a position or not, she legally is required to appear before the oversight committee.on April the 14th, which is the date that Comer set for her to come.We've checked this all already out today with all the lawyers and the attorneys.And so she now has to come testify.She can come and do the right thing and finally be honest about actually what happened, why the cover up, why 50 % of the files have not been released.And look, She no longer has to work for Donald Trump.

3:41

So let's actually get to the truth.

3:42

And please note that I'll be interviewing Robert Garcia again today on this latest news.So if you'd like to watch that interview, please make sure to subscribe to this channel.It is 100 percent free, but a great way to support my work.I'm going to put the link right here on the screen.because they are the best tool for us to see through the partisan reporting fracturing America.For example, when House Dems recently released email exchanges between Epstein and Trump, Ground News lets me see that left -leaning outlets like News & Record reveal Trump knew about the trafficking and abuse.

4:34

But when you look at the right, Fox News only states that this was a bad -faith Epstein doc released without addressing the content of the files.Same documents, completely different realities.But I wouldn't have caught this without Ground News.organizes them by story, so you can see how every outlet is framing the same event.The color -coded layout shows each source's political bias, lets you filter for high factuality reporting, and tells you whether an outlet is independently owned or backed by a large media conglomerate.In 30 seconds, I get the full picture instead of just some slice.

5:07

In a world where algorithms feed you what others want you to see, Ground News helps you cut through the narrative bias, access different viewpoints, and verify information for yourself.And because it's subscriber -funded, its loyalty is to you, not ground news.But unfortunately for the DOJ, early signs point to the fact that even Republicans agree with Garcia's position.According to a spokesperson for the Republican -led House Oversight Committee,quote, the Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on April 14th for a deposition since she is no longer Attorney General and was subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General.The committee will contact Pam Bondi's personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition.

6:04

Quote, regarding scheduling her deposition.In other words, Doesn't exactly sound like the DOJ's gambit will have worked here, considering even James Comer's representative is suggesting this is now just a matter of rescheduling the deposition, not canceling it, not withdrawing the subpoena.Clearly, Pambandi didn't seem intent on following.Of course, the reality is that James Comer is likely being forced into this hostile position against the DOJ because he simply doesn't have the votes on his own side to block this.Even Republican Nancy Mace has made her position clear that Pambandi must testify.Just weeks ago, she, along with Ro Khanna, sent a joint letter to James Comer saying, quote, deposition On the contrary, it makes her sworn testimony even more important, especially with respect to actions she took as Attorney General, matters already under investigation, and decisions made under her leadership.

7:31

When Pam Bondi appeared last month for a briefing, you reiterated you would continue to pursue her sworn testimony and would discuss holding her in contempt of Congress if she failed to comply.She also stated that she would follow the law with respect to her subpoena, which clearly requires her to appear before the Attorney General.Committee.As you know, Congress's oversight authority does not end when an official leaves office.In fact, just last year, the committee issued subpoenas to six former AGs, spanning multiple administrations of both parties.The American people deserve answers about whether Congress was misled and whether information is being withheld by the DOJ.

8:01

We ask you to publicly reaffirm that Pam Bondi must appear on April 14th for a sworn deposition as ordered, or face appropriate enforcement if she refuses.refuses to comply.So, with the margins as thin as they are in the house, Comer probably recognizes that dying on this hill is a losing battle.That, and the fact that it's probably not a great look to protect pedophiles.You know, for starters, especially since it was Trump's team that said this on the campaign trail.

8:28

Everybody has everybody in politics has a vice that's much worse than alcoholism is the way that I put it.But we we release the list.Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list.That is an important thing.

8:42

You say that the FBI has Epstein's list, they're sitting on it.That doesn't seem like something you should do.You're protecting the world's foremost predator.That seems like an evil thing to do, regardless of who may be embarrassed in the release of that list.Why is the FBI protecting the greatest pederast, the largest scale pederast in human history?Simple, because of who's on that list.

Are you wondering why we're not hearing more about this Epstein case?I mean, the guy was only connected to just about every major player in the swamp internationally.And yet you don't hear much about it.And what the hell are they hiding with Jeffrey Epstein?And even Trump himself weighed in.

9:18

Nice guy.Got a lot of problems coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island with Jeffrey Epstein.He'll tell you about it.The island was an absolute success.

10:07

real time.Our job is to ensure that everyone in the government understands that if you want to be a party there to defend a pedophile ring, that's your prerogative, but that there will be consequences.Trump ran on the idea that criminal elites who do heinous things to children will be exposed.Now, against his wishes, that is exactly what we're looking to do.Before you go, I'm very excited to announce that I've written a new book titled The Day After, How to Wield Power in a Post -Trump World.The book explores what is, in my opinion, the single most important theme that we're dealing with in politics today and moving forward.
