The political firestorm over the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case has intensified, and now it’s not just Dan Bongino threatening to walk. FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly weighing his own resignation, should Attorney General Pam Bondi remain in her position.

The memo, signed by Bondi, Bongino, and Patel, claimed there was no evidence of foul play in Epstein’s 2019 death and no credible client list worth pursuing. But the backlash was immediate and intense.

Bondi’s prior public assurances that new documents were coming—and that the Epstein files were far from over—left the MAGA base stunned when the investigation was quietly declared finished. For Bongino, that contradiction reportedly sparked a heated confrontation during a private White House meeting earlier this week.

Sources say the meeting, which included both Patel and Bondi, turned tense when Bongino accused the Attorney General of betraying public trust and withholding material evidence. Patel, who had been relatively quiet in public, is now said to be fully aligned with Bongino’s stance.

Olohan confirmed Patel’s frustrations Friday, writing, “Source close to DOJ says Kash Patel also wants Pam Bondi gone, and that he’d consider leaving if Bongino leaves. Also that there are more frustrations with other documents Bondi hasn’t released.”

Those withheld documents are a key point of contention. Bondi had alluded to a “truckload” of unsealed material as recently as May, suggesting it would tie powerful individuals to Epstein’s criminal network.
