America, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 4, 2026
Mr. Thanedar submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Impeaching Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General of the United States of
America, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General of the United
States of America, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanours, and
that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate:
Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives
of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people
of the United States of America, against Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney
General of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of
its impeachment against her for high crimes and misdemeanors.
article i: obstruction of congress
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ``shall
have the sole Power of Impeachment'' and that civil Officers of the
United States, including the Attorney General of the United States of
America, ``shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors''. In her conduct while Attorney General of the United
States of America, Pamela Jo Bondi, in violation of her oath to support
and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same,
and to well and faithfully discharge the duties of her office, has
willfully and systematically refused to comply with the law, in that--
(1) Pamela Jo Bondi willfully violated Public Law 119-38
which states that all unclassified records that comply with the
permitted withholdings section, must be made ``publicly
available in a searchable and downloadable format'' not later
than 30 days after the date of enactment. Of these files, ``no
record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of
embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity,
including to any government official, public figure, or foreign
dignitary''. However, the Department of Justice violated Public
Law 119-38 by ``slow rolling'' documents and files related to
Jeffrey Epstein, with many files being released past the 30 day
mark. Additionally, the Department of Justice has claimed that
it identified 6 million pages of documents, photographs, and
videos related to Jeffrey Epstein, but has released only
approximately 3.5 million files as of February 13, 2026.
(2) As permitted under Public Law 119-38, the Attorney
General is allowed to ``withhold or redact'' files that
``contain personally identifiable information of victims or
victims' personal and medical files'' and ``depict or contain
child sexual abuse materials''. However, on January 30, 2026,
the Department of Justice released at least 40 unredacted nude
photographs of victims, including some who were underage at the
time. Additionally, the Department of Justice released the
names, phone numbers, and addresses of victims whose lawyers
had identified in correspondence to the Department of Justice,
but did not want their identities released. Not only was the
release of these unredacted photographs and information highly
inappropriate and in contravention of Public Law 119-38, but
these disclosures exposed victims of Jeffrey Epstein to
potential harassment and undermined the statutory protections
afforded to them under Federal law.
(3) On August 5, 2025, the House Oversight Committee
subpoenaed Pamela Jo Bondi, requiring her to produce
``documents and communications'' related to the Epstein Files.
This bipartisan subpoena is legally binding, and the House
Oversight Committee has threatened legal action against
individuals who have previously defied its subpoena powers but
have not yet done so in this instance. Pamela Jo Bondi has
defied this subpoena and has continued to withhold files
related to Jeffrey Epstein and his associates' illegal
activities from Congress.
(4) On February 11, 2026, Pamela Jo Bondi testified before
the House Judiciary Committee to provide testimony relating to
the mission and programs of the Department of Justice. During
the hearing, Pamela Jo Bondi misrepresented facts regarding the
Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016
election and the Epstein files investigation. Specifically,
Pamela Jo Bondi falsely claimed, while under oath, that Robert
Mueller, Special Counsel overseeing an investigation into
Russia's efforts to interfere with the 2016 election, ``found
no evidence, none, of foreign interference''. Robert Mueller
did find evidence of a social media disinformation campaign run
by the Russian Internet Research Agency (IRA), and that the
Russian Military Intelligence (GRU) hacked the Democratic
National Committee (DNC) and the campaign chairman of
Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton's emails. All of which,
Mueller concluded, was done in an effort to swing the 2016
election in favor of Donald Trump. Later during the hearing,
Pamela Jo Bondi also falsely claimed that ``there is no
evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime, everyone
knows that''. Ted Lieu, a sitting Congressman who was
questioning Pamela Jo Bondi at the time, brought up evidence
that the Department of Justice held that showed the witness
statement of a former driver for Donald Trump, who alleged he
overheard a conversation between Donald Trump and Jeffrey
Epstein. The witness statement also stated that the driver met
a girl who claimed to have been raped by both Donald Trump and
Jeffrey Epstein.
In all of this, Pamela Jo Bondi failed to abide by the law. Pamela
Jo Bondi has failed the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, she has lied to
the American people, and she has obstructed Congress in its efforts to
hold those found liable in the Epstein files accountable for their
actions.
Wherefore, Pamela Jo Bondi, by such conduct, has demonstrated that
she is unfit to fulfill the duties of Attorney General of the United
States of America impartially, and will remain a threat to the
Constitution and the rule of law if allowed to remain in office. Pamela
Jo Bondi thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and
disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or
profit under the United States.
article ii: dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ``shall
have the sole Power of Impeachment'' and that civil Officers of the
United States, including the Attorney General of the United States of
America, ``shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors''. In her conduct while Attorney General of the United
States of America, Pamela Jo Bondi, in violation of her oath to support
and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same,
and to well and faithfully discharge the duties of her office, has
willfully and systematically refused to comply with the law, in that--
(1) On February 10, 2025, the Department of Justice moved
to drop criminal corruption charges against Eric Adams, who was
serving as Mayor of New York City at the time. In response to
the Department of Justice's directive to drop criminal
corruption charges against Eric Adams, the United States
Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Renee
Sassoon, the lead prosecutor against Eric Adams, Hagan Scotten,
the acting head of the Department of Justice's Criminal
Division, Kevin Driscoll, the acting head of the Department of
Justice's Public Integrity Section, John Keller, and three
other prosecutors within the Public Integrity Section resigned
from their positions. Many have speculated that this decision
to drop charges against Eric Adams was a quid pro quo: Eric
Adams would comply with, and even assist, the Trump
administration's immigration policies in exchange for not
facing consequences for corruption.
(2) In May 2025, in violation of the Foreign Emoluments
Clause of the United States Constitution, Pamela Jo Bondi
signed a legal opinion that authorized the transfer of a $400
million Qatari jet meant for Donald Trump, the sitting
President of the United States of America. As stated in article
I, section 9, clause 8 of the United States Constitution, ``no
Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall,
without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present. .
.from any King, Prince, or foreign State''. The official cost
of retrofitting the foreign jet to meet security requirements
has not been released, and Air Force Secretary Troy Meink told
lawmakers that the funds would come from the Sentinel
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Program, which is intended
to replace the aging nuclear missile arsenal. By not recusing
herself, as the Chief Legal Officer of the United States,
Pamela Jo Bondi violated her fiduciary duty in the matter by
virtue of her prior experience serving as a registered foreign
lobbyist on behalf of the Government of Qatar. To write a legal
opinion on behalf of the United States that authorizes the
acceptance of a gift from a former client and a foreign
government is a blatant conflict of interest. As of February
13, 2026, the United States Congress has not authorized the
acceptance of this gift and has not authorized the transfer of
funds appropriated from the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic
Missile Program to be used in retrofitting the jet to be used
by Donald Trump.
(3) On September 20, 2025, the Department of Justice closed
its Federal probe into Tom Homan, who was allegedly recorded on
video by undercover FBI agents accepting a $50,000 cash bribe.
Tom Homan, who at the time of the FBI operation was being
tagged for the Border Czar position under President Donald
Trump, allegedly guaranteed Federal Government contracts in
exchange for cash. When questioned under oath about the FBI
probe and its closure by Senate Judiciary Committee members,
Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer whether the FBI received the
$50,000 back from Homan, if Homan reported the $50,000 on his
taxes, or if Tom Homan committed a crime. By closing the FBI
probe into Tom Homan, Pamela Jo Bondi failed to discharge her
duties as Attorney General of the United States of America. She
obstructed the legal system from carrying out a thorough
investigation and trial by a jury of Mr. Homan's peers to
determine his innocence.
(4) In 2025, senior leaders within the Department of
Justice advised the Department of Homeland Security to violate
existing injunctions from Federal courts regarding deportation
flights to El Salvador. According to whistleblower disclosures
from the former Acting Deputy Director for the Department of
Justice's Civil Division's Office of Immigration Litigation,
Erez Reuveni, they were directed by senior leadership to ignore
court orders, misrepresent facts and make false statements in
court, and to stop sending emails to other Federal agencies, as
their emails could be subject to Freedom of Information Act
requests.
(5) In 2025, on numerous occasions, the Department of
Justice took direct action that benefited court cases that
Pamela Jo Bondi's brother, Brad Bondi, was representing. In
August 2025, the Department of Justice moved to dismiss charges
against a Florida woman whom Brad Bondi represented, and the
case was later dropped. Later that same month, the Department
of Justice dropped charges against a Missouri property
developer who was facing felony wire fraud charges and was
represented by Brad Bondi. No evidence has been presented that
Pamela Jo Bondi recused herself from the Department of
Justice's decision to take direct action in cases involving
Brad Bondi, raising serious ethical concerns.
In all of this, Pamela Jo Bondi has obstructed justice and, in
dereliction of her duty as the Attorney General of the United States of
America, failed to abide by the rule of law. Pamela Jo Bondi has
shielded political and personal allies from the law and covered for
Donald Trump's unlawful activities.
Wherefore, Pamela Jo Bondi, by such conduct, has demonstrated that
she is unfit to fulfill the duties of Attorney General of the United
States of America impartially, and will remain a threat to the
Constitution and the rule of law if allowed to remain in office. Pamela
Jo Bondi thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and
disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or
profit under the United States.
article iii: weaponization and politicization of the department of
justice
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ``shall
have the sole Power of Impeachment'' and that civil Officers of the
United States, including the Attorney General of the United States of
America, ``shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors''. In her conduct as Attorney General of the United States
of America, Pamela Jo Bondi, in violation of her oath to support and
defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same,
and to well and faithfully discharge the duties of her office, has
willfully and systematically refused to comply with the law, in that--
(1) On February 5, 2025, Pamela Jo Bondi established the
Weaponization Working Group within the Department of Justice,
which would ``conduct a review [of] the activities of all
departments and agencies exercising civil or criminal
enforcement authority of the United States over the last four
years''. Pamela Jo Bondi cites the ``weaponization by Special
Counsel Jack Smith'' for ``targeting President Trump'' as a
target of focus for the Weaponization Working Group. Jack Smith
has testified under oath twice before Congress, most recently
during his public testimony before the House Judiciary
Committee on January 22, 2026, where he repeatedly defended his
actions and stated that he expects the Department of Justice
under Donald Trump to seek to indict him. Pamela Jo Bondi also
listed ``Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg [and] New York
Attorney General Letitia James'' as targets for the
Weaponization Working Group.
(2) In May 2025, the Department of Justice opened a formal
criminal investigation into Letitia James, the Attorney General
of New York, for charges related to mortgage fraud. Letitia
James had previously been successful in a civil fraud lawsuit
against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. Many
speculated that the criminal investigation against Letitia
James by the Department of Justice was retribution for her
lawsuit against Trump. Ultimately, a judge dismissed the
charges against Letitia James, who found that the interim
United States attorney, Lindsey Halligan, was not lawfully
appointed.
(3) On May 19, 2025, the Department of Justice launched the
Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, which targeted institutions,
like public universities, for knowingly maintaining diversity,
equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs.
Universities such as Harvard, the University of California
system, and others were targeted, and the Department of Justice
alleged that they violated the False Claims Act.
(4) On June 28, 2025, under the direction of Pamela Jo
Bondi, the Department of Justice fired 3 Federal prosecutors
who were involved in the January 6 criminal cases, including
the case against Donald Trump. In July 2025, additional
Department of Justice staff were dismissed from their positions
for their work on the January 6 or other criminal cases related
to Donald Trump.
(5) On September 25, 2025, the Department of Justice
indicted James Comey, former Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, on charges of making false statements to
Congress and obstruction of justice for his involvement in the
investigation of Russia's involvement in the 2016 elections.
Ultimately, the charges against Comey were dismissed by the
judge, who found that the interim United States attorney,
Lindsey Halligan, was not lawfully appointed.
(6) On January 10, 2026, the Department of Justice began a
criminal investigation into Jerome Powell, Chairman of the
Federal Reserve, on charges of making false statements to
Congress regarding the renovation project of the Federal
Reserve Building. Jerome Powell, whom Donald Trump nominated
during his first term as President to serve as Chairman of the
Federal Reserve, has had numerous public disagreements with
Trump regarding interest rates and the economy. On July 24,
2025, Donald Trump visited the Federal Reserve Building to
observe the renovations and, during the visit, openly argued
with Jerome Powell about the cost of the renovations and
interest rates. Donald Trump has publicly stated that he would
``love to fire'' Jerome Powell, and has referred to him as a
``fool''.
(7) On January 23, 2026, Pamela Jo Bondi sent a letter to
Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, demanding ``Minnesota's
records on Medicaid and Nutrition Service programs, including
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program'' (SNAP), the
repeal of ``sanctuary policies,'' and allowing the Department
of Justice to access voter records. In exchange, Pamela Jo
Bondi alludes to ending Operation Metro Surge, the Department
of Homeland Security's deployment of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
officers to Minnesota.
(8) In February 2026, the Department of Justice sought to
indict Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and
Chrissy Houlahan, sitting Members of Congress, and Mark Kelly
and Elissa Slotkin, sitting Senators, over charges related to a
video they produced reaffirming the rights of servicemembers in
the United States military to disobey unlawful orders. This
blatant attempt by the Department of Justice to go after the
free speech rights and to silence political opponents is deeply
alarming, with a grand jury later declining to bring up charges
against the lawmakers.
In all of this, Pamela Jo Bondi has weaponized and politicized the
Department of Justice, turning the highest law enforcement agency in
the United States of America against its own people. In her role as the
Attorney General of the United States of America, Pamela Jo Bondi has
used her investigative powers to attempt to intimidate government
officials and public institutions, as well as go after political
opponents.
Wherefore, Pamela Jo Bondi, by such conduct, has demonstrated that
she is unfit to fulfill the duties of Attorney General of the United
States of America impartially, and will remain a threat to the
Constitution and the rule of law if allowed to remain in office. Pamela
Jo Bondi thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and
disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or
profit under the United States.
