Dan Bongino Furious Over Epstein Case Reversal, May Exit FBI -- Fox & Friends Weekend

D.C. (Dist. of Criminals), July 12, 2025 — A rift at the highest levels of law enforcement has erupted into public view as Fox & Friends reports that FBI Director Dan Bongino is seriously considering resigning over frustrations with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The clash follows a reported shouting match between the two officials at the White House last Wednesday regarding the DOJ’s sudden reversal on the long-rumored Epstein celebrity client list.

Fox’s Chanley Payner revealed that the dispute intensified after the FBI and DOJ issued a joint memo on Sunday, dismissing the existence of any Epstein client list—a claim now walked back from previous statements. According to sources close to the matter, Bongino was so disillusioned by the situation that he skipped work on Friday, fueling speculation about his possible departure.

The White House, however, is backing Bondi, releasing a statement asserting, “President Trump is proud of Attorney General Bondi’s efforts to execute his Make America Safe Again agenda, restore integrity at the DOJ, and pursue justice for victims of crime.” The statement condemned the media’s “continued fixation on sowing division” within the Trump Cabinet as “baseless and unfounded.”

In response to rumors of internal conflict, Deputy Attorney General Kash Patel stated unequivocally, “I worked closely with FBI Director Bongino and Deputy Director [name omitted] on the joint memo regarding the Epstein files. All of us signed off on the memo and its conclusions. Any suggestion that there’s a divide between DOJ and FBI leadership is patently false.”

Still, insiders tell Fox News Digital that while Patel and Bondi have no plans to resign, Bongino remains deeply frustrated with the handling of the case, particularly the DOJ’s public backtracking and the lack of transparency surrounding key evidence.

Footage from an earlier appearance by Bongino was also re-aired during the broadcast, in which he addressed public skepticism surrounding Epstein’s alleged suicide:

“There is video… When you look at it, and we will release it, you’ll see there’s no one there but him. No DNA. No audio. No fingerprints. No suspects. Nothing.”

He added, “We’re working on cleaning it up, enhancing it… We’re also releasing the original so the public doesn’t think there are any shenanigans.”

Still, commentators like Charlie Hurt and Rachel Campos-Duffy pushed back, voicing concerns over the lack of arrests or any public accountability for what could amount to one of the most grotesque sex trafficking operations in modern U.S. history. “Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of victims—and no one perp-walked?” Hurt asked, incredulous. “How can Epstein be the only one implicated?”

Campos-Duffy added, “Even if it involves our own intel agencies—or foreign ones—justice must be served. That’s the morally right thing to do.”

Kevin Corke closed the segment noting that the Epstein saga continues to raise troubling questions about how such a high-profile predator operated for so long, seemingly untouched by justice, while powerful individuals remain unnamed and uncharged.

As for Bongino, whether he steps down or continues pushing from inside remains uncertain. What is clear is that distrust in the DOJ and FBI remains high among both insiders and the public, with transparency demands growing louder by the day.
