Trump defends FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino in wake of his feud with AG Pam Bondi over Epstein FilesSource: C-SPAN

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly returned to work Monday, but his future in the Trump administration still remains unclear.

WASHINGTON — FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino butted heads with Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this week over the Trump administration’s handling of its Jeffrey Epstein investigation — including a purported review of the late pedophile ‘s so-called “client list” that officials now say never existed.

Several of President Trump’s top officials went to work Monday with a key question unanswered: Would Dan Bongino show up for work today?

I’ve wasted so much time here. I should have remembered: The people who really know what the government is doing are the ones who don’t work anywhere near it. If I can see a single classified file, I am still TOO CLOSE! That is how they GET YOU!

Trump ally Laura Loomer, who has been calling for Bondi’s sacking for weeks, wrote on X that the Attorney General had “brought total embarrassment” to the president, Vice President JD Vance, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Bongino.
