Axios:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>FBI deputy director Dan Bongino took a day off from work Friday after clashing at the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, four sources familiar with the conflict told Axios. \u2026 The dispute erupted Wednesday amid the fallout of the administration walking back its claims about Epstein by determining the convicted sex offender didn&#8217;t have a celebrity &#8220;client list,&#8221; and that he wasn&#8217;t murdered in his New York City prison cell in 2019.<br \/>\n\u2022 Bongino didn&#8217;t come to work Friday, leading some insiders to believe he had quit. But administration officials say he&#8217;s still on the job, even as the internal tension over the Epstein case continues.<br \/>\n\u2022 A source close to Bongino, though, said &#8220;he ain&#8217;t coming back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, Bongino was confronted about a NewsNation article that said he and Patel wanted more information released about Epstein earlier, but were held back. Bongino denied leaking that idea.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/pam-bondi-epstein\/?utm_source=Iterable&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Jul.11.2025_7.58pm\">MAGA world is melting down too<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>with many saying that they feel like they&#8217;ve been sold a bill of goods.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Coates, a conservative podcast host, wants President Donald Trump to get involved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pam Bondi this\u2026.

All of us signed off on the contents of the memo and the conclusions stated in the memo. The suggestion by anyone that there was any daylight between the FBI and DOJ leadership on this memo\u2019s composition and release is patently false.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the fallout is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/news\/steve-bannon-confronted-over-jeffrey-212321021.html\">spreading<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>While this was going on within the Trump administration, MAGA youth organization Turning Point USA was holding its Student Action Summit in Florida, which featured Bannon recording his War Room podcast from the lobby.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the MAGA meltdown over the Epstein fiasco, the former Trump adviser has tried to thread a very fine needle due to his own personal connections with Epstein, which has featured former \u201cfirst buddy\u201d Elon Musk \u2013 who has long feuded with Bannon \u2013 claiming \u201cBannon is in the Epstein files.\u201d The world\u2019s richest man, who has called the Epstein memo the \u201cfinal straw\u201d regarding his support for Trump, did not elaborate on how he knew this was the case.<\/p>\n<p>Bannon has since reacted by calling for a special prosecutor to review \u201call\u201d Epstein documents while urging Bondi to step aside. At the same time, much like the majority of MAGA media, he has largely steered clear of directly laying the blame at Trump\u2019s feet. That was put to the test, however, on Friday morning.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>DEVELOPING into an epic rat fight!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PjwtLuBv0b8?si=Fam_utX48Qb64O1s\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is someone upset that Pam Bondi upended the conspiracy drivel he was pushing for years on his idiotic podcast?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2921,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2920"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2926,"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2920\/revisions\/2926"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluewire.news\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
