WASHINGTON — FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino butted heads with Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this week over the Trump administration’s handling of its Jeffrey Epstein investigation — including a purported review of the late pedophile ‘s so-called “client list” that officials now say never existed.

Former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe told CNN on Tuesday that the bad blood between the FBI and Attorney General Pam Bondi's office was like nothing he's ever witnessed before, and would almost certainly lead to at least one head rolling.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly returned to work Monday, but his future in the Trump administration still remains unclear.

It seems FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino pulled an Irish exit. On Monday, CNN host Kaitlan Collins said on “Anderson Cooper 360” that things at the White House are so chaotic in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein files fiasco that President Donald Trump’s aides are reaching out to reporters to figure out what’s going on in their own administration — which includes whether or not Bongino is still working for the FBI.

Several of President Trump’s top officials went to work Monday with a key question unanswered: Would Dan Bongino show up for work today?

I’ve wasted so much time here. I should have remembered: The people who really know what the government is doing are the ones who don’t work anywhere near it. If I can see a single classified file, I am still TOO CLOSE! That is how they GET YOU!

FBI Director Kash Patel is making bureau staff take polygraph tests to root out anyone who’s been talking trash about him, according to a report. Patel has ramped up the FBI’s use of the lie-detector tests—often deemed too unreliable to use as evidence in criminal courts—in order to keep tabs on his own people and stamp out leaks.
