Overview
- Dan Bongino resumed his show Monday with a featured interview with President Trump, a month after stepping down from a roughly 10‑month stint as FBI co‑deputy director under Kash Patel.
- Bongino backed the bureau’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein records, saying expected material was not in the files and pointing to challenges posed by hearsay-laden tips in newly released dockets under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- An unsigned joint FBI–Justice Department memo previously stated the review of Epstein evidence was exhaustive, that no one else would face criminal charges, and that further disclosures would be limited.
- He used the episode to berate critics, denounce unnamed whistleblowers as leakers colluding with media, and promise to confront what he called “doomers” within the movement.
- Trump, speaking on the show, claimed major crime drops tied to federal cooperation in cities including Memphis and Chicago, with those figures presented as his assertions.
