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

Former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe told CNN on Tuesday that the bad blood between the FBI and Attorney General Pam Bondi's office was like nothing he's ever witnessed before, and would almost certainly lead to at least one head rolling.

I personally believe that if Dan Bongino, who is, you know, he's an aggressive guy and he talked about this a lot. And if he, now as deputy director of the FBI says there's nothing there, I think it's reasonable to conclude there's nothing there.

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.

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

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.
