AP reported that Bondi's May 29 House Oversight appearance was a closed-door transcribed interview, not video recorded, and that Chair James Comer said a transcript would be released.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The testimony occurred, but it was not filmed and was handled as a closed-door transcript process. That means the promise was not fully delivered on the filming requirement, though the hearing itself did happen.

The verified commitment specifically required Bondi's testimony to be filmed and made available to the public. Verified evidence shows the interview was instead transcribed but not videotaped, so the filming requirement was not fulfilled. A transcript was later released publicly, but the verified passages do not establish that Garcia materially caused that release, and transcript release does not satisfy the exact filming promise. Garcia's May 4 request supports an effort badge, but not delivery or attributable partial delivery.

Bondi did testify and the House Oversight Committee later released the full transcript to the public during Garcia's current term, so the public-release part was achieved. But the interview was conducted as a closed-door transcribed session and was not filmed, which falls short of the promise's filming requirement. On the available evidence, this is partial rather than full delivery.
