Trump Breaks Silence On Dan Bongino’s Future In The Administration

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino returned to the office on Monday after failing to appear Friday, a worrying sign that left observers wondering whether he plans to stay in the Trump administration — or whether the president plans to fire him.
Those fears were allayed by Trump on Monday when he expressed confidence in Bongino amid a reckoning over the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel have doubled down on the conclusion that Epstein killed himself and that no “client list” of sexual abusers was in his custody.
“I spoke to him today,” Trump told reporters after stepping off Air Force One on Sunday evening. “Dan Bongino. Very good guy. I’ve known him for a long time. I’ve done his show many, many times. He sounded terrific, actually. No, I think he’s in good shape.”
Bongino, a former radio host and Secret Service agent, rose to prominence in conservative media by fueling the narrative that a government cover-up was protecting powerful individuals who associated with Epstein. The late pedophile philanthropist died in 2019 while sitting in a jail cell after being charged with human trafficking and other sex crimes related to his abuse of underage girls.
Now Bongino, Patel, and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi are in a defensive crouch, batting back accusations that they are hiding the same list they once sought to make public.
