BREAKING: Kash Patel reportedly also wants Pam Bondi gone, may leave if Dan Bongino leaves

Update: Special Assistant to the President and White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields released a statement:

“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,” Fields said Friday evening.

Original story follows:

FBI Director Kash Patel will reportedly consider leaving his role in the FBI if Deputy Director Dan Bongino leaves his deputy position. There has been a reported clash between the FBI heads and US Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Epstein files, according to the Daily Wire's Mary Margaret Olohan.

Olohan posted to X, "Source close to DOJ says Kash Patel also wants Pam Bondi gone, and that he’d consider leaving if Bongino leaves. Also that there are more frustrations with other documents Bondi hasn’t released."

This comes after reports that Bongino will resign from his post if Bondi does not leave the DOJ.

“Source close to Dan Bongino tells me it’s either him or Pam Bondi, and that he won’t stay at FBI if she stays at DOJ,” Olohan had earlier reported.

Earlier this week, Bongino, Patel, Bondi, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles were involved in a confrontation over "about whether [Bongino and Patel] were behind a story that said the FBI wanted more information released but was ultimately stymied by the Department of Justice,” CNN reported on Friday.

This comes after a DOJ memo was leaked to reporters, where it stated that Epstein killed himself in prison in 2019, that a "systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list,'" and that "there was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.

"We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties," the DOJ added in the memo. "The conclusion that Epstein died by suicide is further supported by video footage from the common area of the Special Housing Unit (SHU) where Epstein was housed at the time of his death," if further said about footage of the area around the cell where Epstein was being held at the time of his death.
