The House Oversight Committee has formally issued a subpoena compelling Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify in a deposition as part of its investigation into the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., issued the subpoena for Bondi to testify on “possible mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell,” the cover letter for the subpoena released Tuesday read.

The committee voted earlier this month authorizing the move. Bondi is ordered to appear for a deposition April 14. Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche are scheduled to provide committee members with a private briefing Wednesday.

“The Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” Comer wrote, adding that Bondi is “directly responsible” for overseeing the review and release of related records.

The committee indicated the probe could lead to legislative changes aimed at strengthening federal anti-trafficking efforts and reforming the use of non-prosecution and plea agreements in sex-crime cases.

Comer also underscored the panel’s authority to compel testimony, noting it has broad jurisdiction to investigate “any matter” and can require witness participation and document production as necessary.

US Israel Relations: When Israel is not in NATO then why does America help it so much, know the answer?

A retired K9 officer is raising questions about the public handling of the Nancy Guthrie case, arguing that the decision not to deploy cadaver dogs “defies logic” as the investigation stretches into its seventh week with few answers.

“We’re just chasing shadows,” said Michael Gould, a former K9 investigator with the NYPD and Nassau County Police Department.

Still, he told Fox News Digital that it’s very likely investigators are following up on leads behind closed doors and may be farther along than observers think.

“Cadaver dogs, [or] human remains detection dogs, they are the primary technology available to humans to detect odor of people missing,” he said Tuesday. “They’re considered in court a scientific instrument. So why the sheriff chose not to use them, I don’t understand.“

Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been abducted from her home in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood against her will in the early hours of Feb. 1, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, like many local law enforcement agencies around the country, does not have its own cadaver dogs. They borrowed K9s from the local Border Patrol office earlier in the case but are no longer deploying them as part of the investigation.

“There’s only two assumptions, two implications there, that A, she’s still alive, that’s one implication, or B, they’ve given up searching for her,” Gould said.

He called on the sheriff to either deploy them in a pattern search or explain why that’s not happening.

“I stretch my head to think, without him guiding us, giving us answers to this, I can’t think of any other rationale why you would say we’re putting cadaver dogs on hold,” Gould said. “It defies logic.”

Nanos, for his part, told Fox News Digital earlier that if he deemed they were needed, he’d send them back out. He declined to discuss specific leads or evidence.

“Anything is possible,” he said when asked if he believed Guthrie is still alive.

However, with the investigation dragging on for more than 40 days, Gould said the case does not fit the profile of an abduction.

“After six weeks, without proof of life, without anything else, the family has come to terms with the fact, I think, that this is a homicide investigation, and it’s got to be treated like that,” he said.

In a heartbreaking Instagram video posted last month, Savannah Guthrie thanked millions of supporters for their prayers and acknowledged that her mother may no longer be alive.

The elder Guthrie’s pacemaker last synced with her Apple devices around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1. There was a light trail of blood outside of her front door, which authorities later said belonged to her. And nothing significant had been stolen.

Authorities issued a silver alert, describing Guthrie as a vulnerable adult whose life depends on prescription medication and who has mobility issues that could have prevented her from traveling far on foot.

“It was considered a kidnapping so they were investigating as a life and death situation — that’s why they executed a lot of search warrants that people questioned the legitimacy of the search warrant,” Gould said. “But if you’re thinking of the fact that somebody might still be alive and being held hostage, it’s different than a homicide investigation.”

Since then, updates have slowed to a trickle. But a task force of Pima County homicide detectives and FBI agents remains on the investigation.

“If there’s tips coming in, it’s not a cold case,” Gould said. “I feel confident that this is gonna be a solve, but not on our timeline.”
