WASHINGTON, DC (March 25, 2026) - Last week, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (NC-04) helped introduce articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi. The articles of impeachment outline several alleged offenses, including defiance of the Oversight's Committee's subpoena to release the full, unredacted Epstein files, defiance of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, abuse of investigatory and prosecutorial authority, defiance of federal court orders, and perjury in congressional testimony.
The articles of impeachment were introduced by Congresswoman Summer L. Lee (PA-12) with Representatives Foushee (NC-04), Ansari (AZ-03), Min (CA-47), Tlaib (MI-12), and Dexter (OR-03) joining as original cosponsors.
"The Attorney General of the United States is entrusted with one of the most solemn responsibilities in our democracy: to enforce the law fairly, impartially, and without political influence. Instead, Pam Bondi is breaking the law to protect pedophiles and prosecute Trump's political opponents," said Rep. Summer Lee. "This is about accountability, transparency, and justice. We deserve a justice system that serves the people, not one that is weaponized for political gain."
"The duty of an Attorney General is to uphold the Constitution, protect civil and human rights, and ensure equal justice under the law-not shield the powerful, evade accountability, or misuse the Department of Justice for political ends," said Rep. Valerie Foushee. "Under the corrupt leadership of Attorney General Bondi, the Department of Justice has lost the trust of the American people. Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse--as well as Renée Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, and their families--deserve justice, and the American people deserve better. Congress must fulfill its constitutional obligation and remove Bondi from her position immediately."
The articles also detail actions that constitute the politicization of the Department of Justice. These include the firing of career public servants in the Department of Justice and the FBI, ordering and carrying out politically motivated investigations into the president's alleged political opponents, closing investigations and dismissing lawsuits involving President Trump and his allies, and targeting journalists and protestors.
The articles of impeachment were drafted in collaboration with Free Speech For People, a non-profit legal advocacy organization.
