Bongino mulls resignation if Pam Bondi won't leave DOJ: Reports

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is reportedly mulling his resignation if Attorney General Pam Bondi does not step down amid reports of disagreements between the two over the Epstein case.

The Daily Wire first reported Bongino's deliberations, citing "a source close to Bongino." Indpendent journalist Julie Kelly subsequently corroborated  that reporting, citing "sources."

The reports follow Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier in the day denying any disagreement between Bongino, Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel over the leaked memo that concluded there was no evidence Epstein engaged in widespread blackmail.

White House spokesperson Harrison Fields has also denied reports of a rift in the Trump administration over the handling of the Epstein investigation.

"President Trump has assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order team dedicated to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims," Fields told CBS News. "This work is being carried out seamlessly and with unity. Any attempt to sow division within this team is baseless and distracts from the real progress being made in restoring public safety and pursuing justice for all."

Patel, for his part, is also reportedly considering his departure should Bongino opt to resign. As of press time, Bondi has not indicated any intention of resigning.
