Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) announced on February 2, 2026, the introduction of four articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The four articles: 1. Obstruction relating to Epstein files 2. Weaponization of the DOJ against political opponents 3. Failure to enforce federal law / dereliction of duty 4. Contempt of Congress / defiance of oversight
As of introduction, the resolution had no cosponsors. While the articles are unlikely to advance in a Republican-controlled House, the introduction represents the first formal congressional action toward accountability for Bondi's conduct.
Context: The articles were introduced nine days before Bondi's February 11, 2026 hearing before the House Judiciary Committee — the 4.5-hour session where Rep. Ted Lieu accused Bondi of lying under oath about Trump's appearance in Epstein files, and where 11 Epstein survivors raised their hands to indicate they had not been contacted by the DOJ.
