“Kash Patel and Dan Bongino went to the White House to argue that Pam Bondi should resign.”
FALSE ✕

TL;DR ·Evidence indicates Dan Bongino considered his own resignation after clashing with Pam Bondi.

WHAT WE FOUND

Multiple high-credibility sources confirm that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino was the individual considering resignation following a contentious confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi at the White House . The dispute centered on the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's files and reports that Bondi informed President Trump his name appeared in those records . While a significant rift existed between the FBI leadership (Kash Patel and Bongino) and the Department of Justice (Bondi) , there is no evidence that Patel or Bongino demanded Bondi resign. Instead, reporting focuses on Bongino's potential departure, which President Trump later confirmed would occur in January 2026 . Director Kash Patel has publicly denied rumors of a rift within the administration's law enforcement team .
