Democrats on the House Oversight Committee walked out of a closed-door briefing on the Epstein files with Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, less than an hour after it began Wednesday, after Bondi repeatedly declined to say whether she would comply with a subpoena requiring her to appear for a sworn deposition on April 14. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna, who attended the briefing, said Bondi will have to answer "why there are still 3 million documents being hidden" and "why there was a cover-up of those files that implicated Donald Trump."
Khanna also comments on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, noting that Trump's military actions are "a total betrayal of his promise that he was going to focus on American needs."

Iran's Revolutionary Guards have warned a "new stage of war" has begun after Israel bombed Iran's South Pars gas field — the largest known natural gas reserve in the world. This comes as the price of oil has spiked to $118 a barrel, a 60% jump since the U.S. and Iran attacked Iran on February 28.
Professor of Gulf studies Laleh Khalili lays out the global economic implications of the effective closing of one of the world's "major choke points for oil," the Strait of Hormuz. "It doesn't benefit the average U.S. citizen … at the gas stations, but it does benefit the oil companies," says Khalili. "The higher the price of oil goes up, the relatively cheaper it becomes to actually have sustainable alternatives. Of course, that means that it benefits China … since China is way ahead of the rest of the world in producing these technologies."

In a major escalation in the war in the Middle East, Israel has bombed Iran's South Pars gas field, the largest known natural gas reserve in the world, leading Iran to attack energy sites across the Gulf. Iranian American professor of international affairs Vali Nasr says that Iran is prepared for a much longer war than the U.S. and Israel anticipated. "The longer this war goes on, the more Iran is building leverage, and the more the strategic calculations of Israel and the United States appear to be falling short," he says. Iran "thinks the longer that the war goes on, the less Israel and the United States will be able to defend against Iranian missiles, because they're going to run out of interceptors."
In the latest sign the war on Iran could be just beginning, Reuters is reporting President Trump is considering deploying thousands of more U.S. troops to the Middle East. The Pentagon has also asked for $200 billion from Congress.
The Iranian president has proposed terms for the end of the war including reparations and guarantees against future war. Nasr suggests that the Iranians are "confident" that some of their terms may be met. "President Trump may have to accept the fact that he has started a war that is not going to give him what he expected, and he has to settle for an exit in order to be able to go back to the agenda that it had before."

A top national security official resigned from the Trump administration Tuesday in response to the war on Iran. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby," Joe Kent, who served as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, wrote in his resignation letter.
We speak with Josh Paul, a former State Department official who resigned in 2023 to protest the Biden administration's Gaza policy. He says Kent is at least the 16th U.S. official in the last few years to resign over policy related to Israel, spanning both the Biden and Trump administrations.
"We know that there is a very visible, very vocal debate happening in the Democratic Party on that topic. It's clear that there is also a very vocal debate happening within the right wing of American politics," says Paul.
