No idea if true, but being reported by multiple outlets. All day it was Bongino was leaving if Bondi stayed, now Patel considering it.
I have a hard time believing Patel would leave his dream job of FBI Director over one issue, even one as glaring as the Epstein files. Bongino leaving seems more believable. Very doubtful Bondi is going anywhere, a deputy director doesn't have the pull to demand firings at the DOJ. I do believe the reports there was an argument over zero info being released by the DOJ.
"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."
“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.
