FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino Absent from Work After Reported Clash with AG Bondi Over Epstein Files

WASHINGTON — FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino did not report to work today following an alleged dispute with Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding her handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, according to a report by Axios.

Sources familiar with the matter say tensions have been growing between Bongino and Bondi over transparency and access to sensitive documents tied to Epstein’s network. The disagreement reportedly came to a head earlier this week, prompting Bongino’s unexpected absence.

Neither the FBI nor the Department of Justice has issued an official statement regarding the incident or Bongino’s current status.

The situation adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Epstein case, as pressure mounts on federal agencies to release more information.
