Calls to fire Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino are surging amid the Trump administration’s latest Epstein flub.
This week the Justice Department publicly concluded that deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein never had a “client list,” sparking massive outrage from President Donald Trump’s base.
The outrage has been mostly directed at the Department of Justice’s top three officials, especially Bondi, who was also responsible for the botched public release of Epstein case information earlier this year.
“Pam Bondi is a ball and chain for this administration,” right-wing podcaster Shawn Farash tweeted Monday. “It’s time to cut ties. Bondi must go.”
Conservative commentator Liz Wheeler, one of the influencers who was duped during the botched public release, has also called for the attorney general’s ouster:

President Donald Trump for his part rushed to Patel and Bongino’s defense — though not Bondi’s, for some strange reason — in a Truth Social post published Monday afternoon.
“The FBI, under the direction of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is back to the basics: Locking up criminals, and cleaning up America’s streets,” he wrote.
“We have the Greatest Law Enforcement professionals in the World, but ‘Politics’ and Corrupt Leadership often prevented them from doing their job. That is no longer the case, and now, they have been unleashed to do their jobs, and they are doing just that. Keep it up — MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!” he added.
Bongino later retweeted a screenshot of Trump’s post:
We are doubling down.

In response, a stunning number of critics called for his and Patel’s firing on the basis that the two were complicit in the administration’s Epstein flub.
“Sorry, we no longer believe you so it’s time to move along,” one critic tweeted. “You had your chance to make things right with WE THE PEOPLE. You didn’t. You lied. You are a traitor and should be fired, if not locked up.”
“Dan and Pam and Kash are complicit in covering up the Jeffrey Epstein files!” another critic wrote. “All three should be fired! All of them talked about this particular situation on their podcast and now they are doing exactly what the democrats do!”
All this strongly suggests the Trump administration’s Epstein flubs could be a major liability. The flubs continued Sunday when footage of Epstein’s prison wing from the night he was found dead was publicly released.
There was just one problem: At least one minute of content was completely missing from the footage.
Watch:
The DOJ has been caught cutting a full 60 seconds from the newly released 10+ hour Epstein surveillance footage.
Viewers tracking the video noticed a clean jump—the footage cuts off at exactly 11:59:00 and resumes at 12:00:00, with an entire minute missing.

As for Epstein’s supposed “client list,” Bondi had openly suggested it existed and was on her desk just months ago.
During a Fox News interview on Feb. 21, network host John Roberts asked the AG whether her department would ever release a “list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients.”
“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” Bondi responded. “That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that.”
Yet now all of a sudden, there’s no list. When questioned this week about the discrepancy, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that Bondi had been referring to all the Epstein files in a general manner when she’d spoken months earlier:
Peter Doocy questioned White House Press Secretary Leavitt on why AG Pam Bondi responded that she had the Epstein client list on her desk but now says that no list exists.
Leavitt replied that she meant all of the Epstein paperwork and not the client list.
