NBC News - Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is "out of control furious" and considering leaving his job after a heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi over how the Justice Department is handling the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to a person who has spoken with him and a source familiar with the interactions that he and FBI Director Kash Patel have had with Bondi.
Bongino didn't report to work yesterday, a source familiar with the perspectives of DOJ leaders said.
Bongino and Patel have been increasingly frustrated with Bondi over a variety of issues, not just the Epstein files, a source said. But things "got pretty heated" on Wednesday during a meeting with Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles in which Bongino and Patel were asked about a news story suggesting they were dissatisfied with the DOJ's decision not to release any additional files related to Epstein, the convicted sex offender and financier who died by suicide in his jail cell in 2019. The meeting came two days after the DOJ released a statement saying that an "exhaustive review" of materials related to Epstein "revealed no incriminating 'client list'" and that no further charges against others are warranted.
