The clash stemmed from a <strong data-start=\"310\" data-end=\"322\">DOJ memo<\/strong> that rejected longstanding conspiracy theories, stating Epstein had <strong data-start=\"391\" data-end=\"419\">no celebrity client list<\/strong> and was <strong data-start=\"428\" data-end=\"444\">not murdered<\/strong> in his prison cell in 2019.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"474\" data-end=\"973\">A key point of tension was a <strong data-start=\"503\" data-end=\"529\">10-hour security video<\/strong> from outside Epstein\u2019s cell. Although the footage showed no one entering before his death, it contained a <strong data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"656\">\u201cmissing minute\u201d<\/strong>, fueling online speculation. Investigators claimed this was due to an outdated system that resets daily, temporarily pausing for 60 seconds at midnight. Bongino, a former podcast host who promoted Epstein conspiracies, reportedly found and shared the video, viewing it as evidence to challenge the suicide narrative.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1326\">The situation escalated during a <strong data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1031\">White House meeting<\/strong> with Bondi, Bongino, FBI Director Kash Patel, and top Trump aides. Bongino denied leaking any information but expressed frustration with Bondi\u2019s handling of the case, accusing her of overpromising disclosures that failed to materialize. The meeting ended poorly, and Bongino left visibly angry.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1620\">While some Trump allies have criticized Bondi, the president continues to publicly support her. However, Bongino and Patel\u2019s dissatisfaction has caused a growing rift within Trump\u2019s team, intensified by backlash from <strong data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1564\">MAGA supporters<\/strong> expecting bombshell revelations from the Epstein files.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1760\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Despite online speculation, Deputy AG Todd Blanche stated that <strong data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1724\">FBI and DOJ leadership were unified<\/strong> in signing off on the Epstein memo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\">\n<div class=\"touch:-me-2 touch:-ms-3.5 -ms-2.5 -me-1 flex flex-wrap items-center gap-y-4 p-1 select-none touch:w-[calc(100%+--spacing(3.5))] -mt-1 w-[calc(100%+--spacing(2.5))] duration-[1.5s] focus-within:transition-none hover:transition-none pointer-events-none [mask-image:linear-gradient(to_right,black_33%,transparent_66%)] [mask-size:300%_100%] [mask-position:100%_0%] motion-safe:transition-[mask-position] group-hover\/turn-messages:pointer-events-auto group-hover\/turn-messages:[mask-position:0_0] group-focus-within\/turn-messages:pointer-events-auto group-focus-within\/turn-messages:[mask-position:0_0] has-data-[state=open]:pointer-events-auto has-data-[state=open]:[mask-position:0_0]\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aria-live=polite absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\"><span class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 select-none\"><span class=\"sr-only whitespace-nowrap! md:not-sr-only\">Ask ChatGPT<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1943709127555027141&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativebrief.com%2Fbongino-epstein-93098%2F&amp;sessionId=dd1698a454ccdc30dc286b0995ddbe88b8edbe06&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1943709127555027141\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly took the day off Friday following a heated dispute with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the release and messaging of the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
