Things have taken a turn for the more explosive inside the Trump Administration, with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly threatening to resign over the Epstein files debacle unless Attorney General Pam Bondi, whom he views as being responsible for the disaster, is fired. Now, it is being noted online that Bongino is backed up by most of the MAGA base, potentially indicating good news for him and that the Epstein files will be released eventually.

As background, Pam Bondi’s DOJ created the explosive situation by releasing a memo in which it claimed to have examined all the evidence available and found that there was neither a list of Epstein clients nor a blackmail operation. As that is unbelievable and stands in stark contrast to what Bondi, Patel, and Bongino were earlier claiming, MAGA reacted with outrage to the news.

The situation then devolved from there, with Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton going on air to claim that there is an Epstein list and it is being covered up, and Rep. Burchett similarly claiming that the Biden Administration’s agents hid what list there was or evidence of blackmail there was before handing over the files to Trump’s people.

Now, Bongino has reportedly threatened to quit over the situation unless Bondi is fired first. Such is what DOJ-focused, MAGA reporter Julie Kelly took to X to cover, noting that the explosive situation is very real and that most evidence indicates that the MAGA base is firmly on Bongino’s side in this fight.

Beginning, Kelly noted that while the dispute has been ongoing, with Bongino seemingly wanting the DOJ to take a harder and more pro-MAGA line, it blew up with the Epstein debacle. She wrote, “Sources confirm to me the blow up between Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi is very real. This has been brewing for four months and came to a head at the White House on Wednesday. He has not been in the office since.”
