Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) filed articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Why it matters: The effort is an extreme long shot, but it shows where Democrats are turning their attention now that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is out . The House Oversight Committee voted on a bipartisan basis Wednesday to subpoena Bondi over the Epstein files. The subpoena was offered by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), but all Democrats voted for it along with four other Republicans. Driving the news: Thanedar said in a press release that he is introducing three articles of impeachment charging Bondi with obstruction of Congress, dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice, and weaponizing and politicizing the DOJ. Thanedar said that Bondi is "illegally withholding millions of Epstein Files" after Congress passed a law requiring DOJ to release all of its documents related to the deceased billionaire and convicted sex offender. "Her conduct is a spit in the face to survivors everywhere, and we cannot allow it to continue," he said. Between the lines: This is the third time since Trump took office last year that Thanedar has tried to impeach either the president or one of his Cabinet officials. He initially sought to force a vote on his articles of impeachment against Trump in May, but scrapped those plans at the last minute. Thanedar has also moved to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over " Signalgate " and reports of double-tap strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats Reality check: Neither of these efforts has gained much traction with Thanedar's fellow Democrats, let alone the Republicans who control the House. A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
