FBI’s Dan Bongino Eyes Resignation After Clash with AG Bondi Over Epstein Files

In a dramatic turn of events, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is reportedly mulling over resignation following a fiery clash with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Sources reveal that Bongino, absent from the office since Wednesday, even took a personal day on Friday to grapple with his frustration over the Justice Department’s approach to this high-profile case.

The tension reached a boiling point during a heated exchange at the White House on Wednesday, leaving ripples of discord within the department. While Bongino wrestles with his next steps, Bondi stands firm, with sources close to her affirming she has no plans to step down and remains proud of her team’s efforts. FBI Director Kash Patel also appears unshaken, reportedly content in his role and aligned with Bondi on key issues.

Amidst whispers of internal strife, the White House has pushed back hard against rumors of division. A spokesperson emphasized the unity of President Trump’s law and order team, calling attempts to suggest otherwise a distraction from their mission to restore public safety. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche echoed this sentiment online, dismissing claims of discord between FBI and DOJ leadership as baseless.

At the heart of the controversy lies the recent joint review by the DOJ and FBI, which put to rest speculation about an alleged Epstein client list, confirming no such record exists. The report also reiterated the conclusion that Epstein took his own life in 2019 while awaiting further charges in a New York jail cell. Yet, public skepticism persists, fueled by a surveillance video of Epstein’s final hours that mysteriously lacks a crucial minute, reigniting conspiracy theories of a cover-up.

Even President Donald Trump couldn’t resist weighing in, interrupting a reporter with a quip about the ‘unbelievable’ fixation on Epstein, whom he labeled a ‘creep,’ during a cabinet meeting. As the administration defends its transparency, the missing footage continues to cast a shadow, leaving the public—and perhaps Bongino himself—searching for answers in a case that refuses to fade quietly.
