Dan Bongino considers resignation over Epstein files dispute
- Dan Bongino clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein case.
- His dissatisfaction sparked speculation about his possible resignation following his absence from work.
- The fallout from the Epstein files has revealed public and internal tensions within the FBI and Justice Department.
In the United States, a significant internal conflict has emerged within the FBI regarding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino reportedly clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi during a meeting at the White House. This confrontation followed the release of a DOJ memo indicating that there was no client list associated with Epstein and reaffirmed that he died by suicide in 2019. Bongino expressed discontent over how these issues were managed, which reportedly contributed to his decision to take time off work on the following Friday. Speculation surrounding his potential resignation has intensified due to public dissatisfaction related to the Epstein files, especially from Trump’s supporters, leading to added pressure on Bongino and Bondi. Sources confirmed Bongino had not reached a final decision on his future. The tensions between the FBI and the Justice Department suggest deeper issues regarding how Epstein's investigations have been handled, and Bongino's future remains uncertain amid these growing conflicts and public expectations for transparency in the Epstein case. This situation not only highlights the ongoing fallout from the Epstein investigations but also reflects broader dissatisfaction within public agencies about accountability and the management of sensitive cases involving high-profile figures.
