President Donald Trump’s FBI head Kash Patel and deputy Dan Bongino are both ready to call it quits if Attorney General Pam Bondi keeps her job after the debacle over releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Bongino, the agency’s deputy director, made the ultimatum after an epic clash with Bondi on Wednesday over the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The rift was so bad that Bongino took the day off work on Friday, leading some to think that he had already left his post, Axios first reported.
And now, an insider at the DOJ tells the Daily Mail that Bongino will quit if Bondi doesn’t step down or get fired.
‘I don’t see a scenario where Dan stays if Bondi remains,’ the insider said.
Meanwhile, Patel tells Daily Wire reporter Mary Margaret Olohan that the FBI head ‘also wants Pam Bondi gone, and that he’d consider leaving if Bongino leaves.’
It all stems from an unsigned memo released on Sunday with DOJ and FBI seals that concluded a review of the files resulted in confirmation that Epstein did not get murdered in prison and that none of the available evidence included a so-called ‘client list.’
