FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has called the agency “the single most corrupt law enforcement institution” in America.

Overview

  • A joint DOJFBI memo released July 7 concluded there was no credible Epstein client list, no sign of blackmail and reaffirmed his 2019 death as suicide.
  • President Trump took to Truth Social to praise Attorney General Pam Bondi’s performance and urged MAGA supporters to unite behind her.
  • FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took a personal day on July 11 and is widely expected to resign in protest of Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel denied on X that he plans to quit, calling the resignation reports “conspiracy theories,” though he may reconsider if Bongino departs.
  • Conservative influencers and base supporters have turned against Bondi after her promises of bombshell Epstein disclosures went unfulfilled.
