hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Resolution to impeach U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
Ms. Lee (PA) and five other Representatives.
Introduced in House, referred to Committee on the Judiciary.
This House Resolution seeks to impeach U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi, alleging five articles of high crimes and misdemeanors, including obstruction of Congress, abuse of power, defiance of courts, and perjury. Representative Lee of Pennsylvania introduced the resolution along with several other members. The resolution has been sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary for review, which is the first step in the impeachment process.
Introduced Mar 17, 2026
The resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 17, 2026, and immediately referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. For the impeachment process to advance, the committee would typically hold hearings and vote on whether to recommend the articles of impeachment to the full House. If the House approves any articles by a simple majority vote, the Attorney General would be impeached. The process would then move to the Senate for a trial, where a two-thirds vote is required for conviction and removal from office.
If this resolution were to pass the House and lead to the Attorney General's removal, a new Attorney General would be appointed, potentially altering the direction of the Department of Justice. The bill alleges the current AG obstructed justice by not releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files and by selectively redacting them, which could lead a new AG to prioritize greater government transparency. Furthermore, the resolution accuses the Attorney General of abusing investigatory powers to target political opponents, journalists, and protesters, and of interfering with election security, suggesting a new AG might lead to a different approach to federal investigations and a stronger defense of constitutional rights.
Supporters Say
Upholding the rule of law and constitutional government requires removing an Attorney General who allegedly obstructed Congress, abused power, defied courts, and committed perjury.
Critics Say
Opponents might argue the charges are politically motivated or lack sufficient grounds to warrant impeachment and removal from office.
Those supporting the resolution would argue that the alleged actions—such as withholding crucial evidence related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, targeting journalists and political opponents, and lying under oath—represent a severe dereliction of duty and abuse of public trust that undermines the justice system and the Constitution. Critics, though not specified in the bill text, would likely contend that the allegations are unsubstantiated or that the actions described do not rise to the level of 'high crimes and misdemeanors' required for impeachment, suggesting political motivations behind the resolution.
