Overview

  • On July 7, a joint DOJ-FBI memo concluded there was no incriminating client list linked to Jeffrey Epstein and reaffirmed that his 2019 death was a suicide.
  • On July 12, FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X to reject rumors of his imminent departure and pledged to continue serving under President Trump.
  • President Trump praised Attorney General Pam Bondi on Truth Social as “doing a fantastic job” and urged MAGA supporters to end internal attacks against her.
  • Bondi remains in her role after Trump’s endorsement, while reports of an ultimatum from Deputy Director Dan Bongino have yet to result in any confirmed resignations.
  • The White House directed the FBI to shift focus from past Epstein materials to investigating alleged voter fraud, political corruption and the 2020 election outcome.
