Will Dan Bongino resign over Pam Bondi’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein memo?
Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is considering resigning from his post over disagreement with how Attorney General Pam Bondi handled the memo on the Jeffrey Epstein case, according to reports.
“Multiple sources said Bongino did not come to work Friday, fueling speculation he had quit over the issue,” CNN reported. “One source said as of Friday afternoon he had not left his position.”
On Sunday night, the Department of Justice and the FBI issued a joint memo saying there was “no incriminating ‘client list’” and “no credible evidence” that Epstein blackmailed co-conspirators who sexually abused underaged girls provided by him, Axios first reported.
On Wednesday, FBI Director Kash Patel and Bongino were confronted about whether they were behind a news story that the bureau wanted more information on the Epstein case but were turned down by DOJ, according to CNN.
Bongino denied being behind the story, the outlet reported.
The joint memo, which contradicted Bondi’s statement to Fox News in February that the client list was sitting on her desk, stirred backlash from several high-profile MAGA influencers who want the Epstein files and the client list to be released.
The memo spurred speculation that the Trump administration is protecting Epstein’s clients.
