Tensions within the Trump administration have escalated after a reported heated exchange earlier in the week between Bongino and Bondi.

Earlier this week, the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that sexual predator and financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while incarcerated in New York in 2019.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, who looks and acts like a villain from a poorly written cartoon, lashed out after New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Donald J. Trump, an adjudicated rapist, a rapist, and she did so without mentioning the president's name.

The Epstein files — and calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi to be fired — dominated a conservative conference in Tampa this weekend.

The drama surrounding the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files is still boiling over among loyalists of President Donald Trump.  Deputy director of the FBI Dan Bongino is considering leaving his job after a confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi over his frustration over how the Justice Department has handled the situation,

Attorney Spencer Kuvin, who represents one of Epstein’s victims, shared: "We certainly knew that Mr. Trump was a close friend of Mr. Epstein during those exact years that Mr. Epstein was molesting these young girls. "These are two gentlemen that definitely ran in the same circles."

After a tense Friday marked by an unprecedented clash between the FBI and the DOJ over the mishandling of the Epstein case, the White House said reports of the alleged clash between FBI deputy director Dan Bongino and Attorney General Pam Bondi are baseless.
