Bongino Weighs Resignation Over Bondi’s Mishandling
In a developing story, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is seriously considering resigning from his post, citing deep frustration with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein file release. The situation has fueled broader concerns over transparency at the Department of Justice.
According to exclusive sources speaking to investigative journalist Laura Loomer, Bongino took the day off to reflect on whether he can continue in his role as Deputy FBI Director amid the growing scandal.
Loomer Report Confirmed by Mainstream Outlet
By midday Friday, Laura Loomer’s exclusive report was independently corroborated by Axios reporter Marc Caputo, who confirmed Bongino’s absence from FBI operations. Notably, Bongino has long advocated for the full public release of the Epstein files, even before assuming his current role at the FBI.
Epstein Prison Video’s Metadata Raises More Questions
Bongino may have had early warning that Bondi’s mishandling and alleged cover-up of the Epstein investigation would soon come under renewed scrutiny.
On Friday afternoon, newly released metadata suggested that the raw prison video footage related to Jeffrey Epstein may have been altered. This revelation comes as Attorney General Bondi continues to refer to the footage as key evidence.

Bondi Misled Trump Team Over Binder Debacle
In March, Bondi denied having any role in the now-infamous and embarrassing “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” binder stunt outside the White House. According to a tip received by Laura Loomer, Pam Bondi initially lied to President Trump’s senior staff, claiming she had no involvement with the binders—despite being the person who physically handed them out.
The binders, promoted by 15 MAGA-aligned social media influencers, were presented as containing explosive new revelations about the Epstein case. However, they were ultimately found to hold no significant disclosures. Even the influencers took a reputational hit from Bondi’s poorly executed publicity stunt.
The optics were so disastrous that no one involved wanted to take responsibility. As Loomer reported, Bondi’s actions deeply embarrassed President Trump.
Bondi’s Epstein Record in Florida Under Scrutiny
Many continue to question Bondi’s record during her time as Florida’s Attorney General, when Epstein was actively abusing minors in Florida. Despite her role overseeing law enforcement, Bondi took no substantial action against Epstein during that time.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, a longtime Bondi ally, has faced harsh criticism for providing Epstein with VIP treatment, including early work release. Bradshaw secured re-election in 2024, winning a sixth term, fueling suspicions about ongoing local protection schemes.
Possible Successors Emerge Amid GOP Pressure
If Bondi resigns or faces removal, officials are already discussing multiple replacement candidates. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stands out as a top contender due to his aggressive stance on justice reform and his background as a prosecutor.
Also, there has been behind-the-scenes advocacy from GOP donors who are pushing for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to step in. However, Paxton’s interest in his campaign for the U.S. Senate could complicate that path.
Accountability Demands Action: “Blondi” Must Go
With new revelations surfacing and internal DOJ unrest growing, the controversy surrounding Pam Bondi has become a serious liability for the Trump administration. Her mishandling of the Epstein files, compounded by public deception and disastrous optics, has damaged the credibility of those around her, including Dan Bongino.
These mounting issues surrounding the Epstein files demand accountability. If a respected figure like Bongino is willing to walk away over Bondi’s failures, that speaks volumes. The DOJ cannot function with leadership that lies to the President and misleads the American people. Pam Bondi must resign before she causes more damage.
