The White House released a statement on the Bondi, Bongino clash on Friday afternoon.
Earlier Friday it was reported that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took a day off from work after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files.
The blowup between Bondi and Bongino happened after the FBI, DOJ released a 2-page memo on Sunday concluding Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he committed suicide.
The memo also suggested that no further Epstein documents would be released to the public.
Later Friday it was reported by numerous sources that Dan Bongino was considering resigning if Bondi stayed at the Department of Justice.
SCOOP @dbongino is now seriously thinking about RESIGNING from the FBI as Deputy Director over Pam Blondi’s mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein file release and the lack of transparency at the DOJ.

Can confirm it’s Bongino or Bondi – and the pick is obvious.
Bondi must go.

Laura Loomer, who was the first to report on the Bongino-Bondi clash, said Dan Bongino may resign by Monday – or possibly a weekend resignation.
We might not have a Deputy FBI Director by Monday. We could possibly see a weekend resignation from the FBI by @FBIDDBongino Dan Bongino.

White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields released a statement on the Bondi-Bongino clash.
“President Trump has assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order team dedicated to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims. This work is being carried out seamlessly and with unity. Any attempt to sow division within this team is baseless and distracts from the real progress being made in restoring public safety and pursuing justice for all,” Harrison Fields said.
It was later reported that Kash Patel is considering resigning if Bongino leaves.
