Trump defends Pam Bondi as FBI's Kash Patel denies resignation rumors over Epstein probe

WASHINGTON, DC: Looks like President Donald Trump has zero patience for the drama surrounding Attorney General Pam Bondi and the supposed fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein probe.

While rumors of resignations and Department of Justice (DOJ) tension have been heating up, Trump jumped into the fray on Saturday night, July 12, throwing his full weight behind Bondi and calling the focus on Epstein a waste of time.

“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a fantastic job!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happened,” he continued. “We have a perfect administration, the talk of the world, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.”

“Let Pam Bondi do her job-she's great! One year ago, our Country was dead; now it’s the ‘HOTTEST’ Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about," he added.

White House turmoil grows as Jeffrey Epstein probe triggers clash between Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi

Donald Trump’s outburst came after a particularly tense week at the White House — one that reportedly included a heated confrontation between FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and Attorney General Pam Bondi. According to sources, the clash erupted following the release of a long-awaited Justice Department review into Jeffrey Epstein’s death, which ultimately yielded nothing.

The DOJ probe didn’t uncover a single smoking gun — no shocking revelations about Epstein’s death and no “client list,” despite Bondi previously hinting that such a list might be in her own office.

The confrontation reportedly left Bongino seriously shaken. So much so that he took a personal day on July 11 to consider resigning, despite being less than four months into the job. 

One insider told the New York Post that Bongino’s relationship with Bondi is now “beyond repair.” The same source warned that if Bongino resigns, FBI Director Kash Patel “might not be far behind.”

Patel, however, dismissed the speculation surrounding his position. “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been,” he wrote just hours before Trump’s public defense of Bondi. “It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump – and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.”

Justice Department memo rules out conspiracy in Jeffrey Epstein's death, confirms suicide

It all began with the DOJ’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019. Epstein had been awaiting trial on trafficking charges after being accused of abusing dozens of underage girls.

Earlier this year, Pam Bondi hinted that the Epstein case might still hold more revelations. In a February appearance on Fox News, she revealed that documents tied to the case were “on her desk” and needed “to be reviewed” — a remark many interpreted as a nod toward the infamous “client list.”

Bondi also stated that the FBI’s New York Field Office had “thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.” But on July 7, her department released a two-page memo that essentially closed the book on the case.

The memo concluded that Epstein’s death was indeed a suicide, after he had “impacted over one thousand victims.” It plainly stated there was “no incriminating ‘client list,’” and added, “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 memo read.
