For years, the MAGA base has been demanding real accountability, not just for January 6th protestors or anti-Hillary meme posters, but for the actual predators and monsters who walk free among us under our broken, two-tier justice system.
One of the biggest demands from Trump’s America First supporters has been the truth around Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed client list. MAGA was promised sunlight on this issue. They were promised justice. And instead, many feel as if they’ve been gaslit, stalled, and handed recycled documents while the real power players skate free, without a care in the world.
From the very beginning, many believed Pam Bondi botched the Epstein rollout. MAGA supporters haven’t forgotten that awkward February stunt at the White House, where so-called “Epstein files” were handed out to conservative influencers. They were actually old files that turned out to be publicly available court records everyone had already seen. The base expected bombshells. What they got felt like a cover-up. It was an embarrassing moment for Bondi and the Trump administration.
Bondi even made the cover of the box look like some official classified documents.

People were furious.
The Vigilant Fox:
NEW: @Liz_Wheeler says Pam Bondi BRAGGED about personally making the cover of the Epstein Files binders before handing them out to influencers. Wheeler was one of those influencers, and now she’s furious. “That day in the White House, Pam Bondi bragged about making that cover sheet on the binder you’re showing on the screen. That cover sheet that reads, ‘The most transparent administration in history: Epstein Files, Phase One.’ She told us she made that. She printed it. She put it in that binder.” Bondi worked hard to make the cover look like an exposé but put in no effort to actually do one.
But things actually got worse for Pam.
After that stunt fell flat, Bondi said officials were poring over a supposed truckload of previously withheld evidence she said had been handed over by the FBI. In a March TV interview, she claimed the Biden administration “sat on these documents; no one did anything with them.” She then went on to say the following: “Sadly these people don’t believe in transparency, but I think more unfortunately, I think a lot of them don’t believe in honesty.”
Pam was digging herself a hole that she may never get out of… because now, after months of Pam’s hype and speculation, the DOJ has released a memo that’s ignited a political firestorm, claiming there is no Epstein list and there will be no further disclosures. The End.
What?
AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.
The acknowledgment that the well-connected Epstein did not have a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked represents a public walk-back of a theory that the Trump administration had helped promote, with Bondi suggesting in a Fox News interview earlier this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review. Even as it released video from inside a New York jail meant to definitively prove that Epstein killed himself, the department also said in a memo that it was refusing to disclose other evidence investigators had collected.
Bondi for weeks had suggested more material was going to be revealed — “It’s a new administration and everything is going to come out to the public,” she said at one point — after a first document dump she had hyped angered President Donald Trump’s base by failing to deliver revelations.
The backlash inside the MAGA movement has been fast and furious. People want answers and are not taking this latest stunt sitting down.
It’s gotten so bad that, according to investigative reporter Laura Loomer, the anger is boiling over inside the Trump administration. According to Loomer, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are absolutely livid with Pam Bondi, and the damage she’s caused is serious enough that some want her gone.
Laura Loomer:
SCOOP: @FBIDirectorKash and @dbongino are LIVID with @AGPamBondi over her DOJ Memo and the lack of transparency from her office regarding the Jeffery Epstein files.
Source tells me Dan Bongino is taking the day off today from his job as Deputy Director of the FBI, and there’s now speculation on whether or not he will return to his job at the @FBI over his disgust with Blondi’s lack of transparency and handling of the Epstein files.
Pam Blondi has brought total embarrassment to President Trump, @JDVance, @dbongino and @Kash_Patel. She has also LIED to the American people.
I’m told Kash and Bongino are furious with Blondi and the blowback she has caused them with her lack of transparency.
Kash Patel and Dan Bongino should call for Blondi’s public resignation today to save themselves and to also push for full transparency into the Epstein files.
This is an issue the American people care deeply about.
Someone needs to be fired for this. Giving Blondi courtesy to resign is more than she deserves.
Trump should just FIRE her.
That’s some heavy-duty stuff, if true.
Adding another layer to this already convoluted story, Bill O’Reilly recently said that President Trump gave him a direct reason for not disclosing Epstein-related names. According to O’Reilly, Trump said he didn’t want innocent people, like a golf buddy or casual acquaintance, dragged through the mud just for appearing on a list, without context.

This is a powder keg issue and one of the biggest that President Trump has faced since he’s been in office.
But the bottom line is this: the American people deserve to know what really happened. We were promised transparency, and more importantly, we were promised justice. If we want a country where citizens respect their leaders, then morality matters. Crimes against children matter. And if there are names on that list of people who did nothing wrong, then fine… put it into context and release the thing.
Don’t bury the truth. Let the chips fall where they may.
Now we want to hear from you: Should Pam Bondi be fired over this mess? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
UPDATE:
This story is heating up and spreading like wildfire. Now, Axios is also reporting the same story, claiming they have two sources who’ve corroborated Bongino’s ire with Pam Bondi and the handling of the Epstein files.
Axios:
FBI deputy director Dan Bongino took a day off from work Friday after clashing at the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, four sources familiar with the conflict told Axios.
Why it matters: The dispute erupted Wednesday amid the fallout of the administration walking back its claims about Epstein by determining the convicted sex offender didn’t have a celebrity “client list,” and that he wasn’t murdered in his New York City prison cell in 2019.
Bongino didn’t come to work Friday, leading some insiders to believe he had quit. But administration officials say he’s still on the job, even as the internal tension over the Epstein case continues. Zoom in: At the center of the argument: a surveillance video from outside of Epstein’s cell that the administration released, saying it was proof no one had entered the room before he killed himself.
The 10-hour video had what has widely been called a “missing minute,” fueling conspiracy theories in MAGA’s online world about a cover-up involving Epstein’s death.
The “missing minute,” authorities say, stemmed from an old surveillance recording system that goes down each day at midnight to reset and record anew. It takes a minute for that process to occur, which effectively means that 60 seconds of every day aren’t recorded.
Bongino — who had pushed Epstein conspiracy theories as a MAGA-friendly podcast host before President Trump appointed him to help lead the FBI — had found the video and touted it publicly and privately as proof that Epstein actually hadn’t been murdered. That conclusion — shared by FBI Director Kash Patel, another conspiracy theorist-turned-insider — angered many in Trump’s MAGA base, criticism that increased after Axios first reported the release of the video and a related memo.
After the video’s “missing minute” was discovered, Bongino was blamed internally for the oversight, according to three sources.
Two sources familiar with Bongino’s position say he was increasingly displeased with Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case because she had publicly overpromised and underdelivered disclosures about an Epstein “client list” that apparently never existed.
As the Epstein scandal backlash grows bigger and louder, Laura Loomer just dropped yet another thread exposing even more behind-the-scenes chaos. This time she’s accusing Pam Bondi of actively blocking the FBI from releasing more Epstein-related files.
It all started when Laura responded to this X post from Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General under Pam Bondi.
I worked closely with @FBIDirectorKash and @FBIDDBongino on the joint FBI and DOJ memo regarding the Epstein Files. All of us signed off on the contents of the memo and the conclusions stated in the memo. The suggestion by anyone that there was any daylight between the FBI and DOJ leadership on this memo’s composition and release is patently false.

Laura Loomer:
How come nobody signed their name to the memo? @DAGToddBlanche
My sources tell me that the FBI wanted to release more information about Jeffrey Epstein, and Pam Blondi @AGPamBondi and her DOJ said NO. This has caused tension between Blondi, Kash, and Bongino.
Asking for transparency isn’t difficult.
Blondi is literally blowing up the Trump admin by concealing information, spending time on Fox News lying to MAGA base and by releasing contradictory statements.
There is information that can be released that the public wants to see.
Why was the Memo released on a Sunday night on 4th of July weekend with no official signage and no names of any admin officials?
You only release memos on Sunday evening on holiday weekends when you don’t want anyone paying attention to the contents.
Trump’s team needs to READ THE ROOM.
Blondi has been very DAMAGING to the admin and she has damaged public trust in the DOJ.
She is hurting President Trump and his staff/advisors.
She lied on national TV and needs to be held accountable for harming the Trump admin and public trust.

Stay tuned, folks. Something tells us this story’s far from over.
Sources confirm to me the blow up between Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi is very real. This has been brewing for four months and came to a head at the White House on Wednesday.
He has not been in the office since.
Most of the frustration at FBI relates to her handling of Epstein…— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) July 11, 2025
Mark Levin!......................
One cluster... at a time, please!
“What good would firing Bondi do? None.”
You’re correct firing Biondi at this point is unlikely to solve anything. Ultimately it was Trump’s decision to close the Epstein case and she was just going along with it. The American people are demanding justice in this. So what is Trump going to do going forward? Either he changes his mind and releases the files or his presidency becomes seriously damaged and he loses considerable support. If he thinks he can bs his way out of this he is seriously mistaken.
Waterboard Maxwell.
OMG, I can’t believe you are trying to convince me using an insanely left-wing source like the Daily Beast. LOL. Michael Wolff wrote a hit-piece, tabloid bio on Trump and so of course he’d want to try to drum up some scandalous claims. Trump was president in 2017 when these tapes were allegedly recorded of Epstein. Of course, it would be in his interest to play up as much as possible his relationship with the *President of the United States* and try to give the Trump hating author as much salacious stuff he could come up with (if the tape is even legit in the first place).
Come on man, some of the people on DU would be embarrassed pushing this left-wing propaganda crap. Let me guess, you also believe that Trump colluded with Putin to steal the 2016 election, that he called soldiers whom he’s very vocal in supporting “suckers and losers,” that he raped a serial accuser in a public department store some random year she can’t remember, that he really did lunge at the steering wheel to try to join the “insurrection” at the Capitol...
🚨JUST ANNOUNCED: FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino consider RESIGNING if AG Pam Bondi stays, per Daily Wire/ @MaryMargOlohan.
HELL NO!!! Huge loss for America if Dan and Kash leave the FBI! pic.twitter.com/DEblFASTzl— AJ Huber (@Huberton) July 11, 2025
Imagine if Bongino refuses to go along with Bondi’s charade and she orders Patel to fire him — and he refuses? Who knows, maybe its already happened? LOL
“Ultimately it was Trump’s decision to close the Epstein case”
**********
Looking that way. Bondi may be inept but she’s almost certainly following orders. Trump doesn’t seem to have the slightest bit of interest in pursuing the Epstein trail. If so Bongino may want to bow out now, and in so doing will become a huge folk hero (i.e., someone who went to work in DC and refused to sacrifice his principles).
Honestly Kash has disappointed me a lot. He is the FBI director, he can release the files just as much as Bondi can..she has no more legal authority to do so than he does yet he refuses to release them. It was Kash who said on DAY ONE he would release the Epstein files, Bondi never even mentioned Epstein, it was Kash..so if he wants to run his mouth he can release the files himself..no one is stopping him. I want to see mass arrests, so far Ive gotten a token Comey and Brennan fake investigation which will go NO WHERE..I want to see REAL arrests!
Notice NO one on the left is outraged by the Epstein files, no screaming by Schmucky, no screaming by Hakeem, gee its like they are in the files themselves
Fire Blondi, install Kash as AG, and elevate Bongino to FBI director. Looks like the best path to me. Kash, and I believe Bongino have already been approved by the senate.
Here is an old article on Schumer:
https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU08/20250227/117951/HHRG-119-JU08-20250227-SD004-U4.pdf
Epstein owned Schumer.
“a token Comey and Brennan fake investigation”
***********
That is exactly what it is. Its all a show. They really think we’re stupid is what it tells me.
To your other point, since the FBI director is appointed by the president he has some level of independence as opposed to being directly subordinate to the AG. So Patel should do what he feels is best in with respect to transparency, AG’s opinion be damned. Unless of course Bondi is simply doing what Trump wants her to do.
Kash promised to go in and release the files day 1..so he needs to do it, TODAY..he has access to them too, after all he doesn’t work at HR, he’s the FBI director..Bondi on the other hand, she never actually said she would release anything, that was Kash who said that not her(Not that Im defending Bondi honestly I think she’s shown herself to be a bit of an airhead)
Bro...Trump himself said he’d known Epstein for 15 years. There are tons of pictures of them partying together. He flew on Epstein’s plane multiple times. How much proof do you need that they were good friends, for many years? Lol.
All 3 of them could resign and that still won’t change a thing unless and until the Epstein files are released. Only Trump can make that call and it doesn’t appear at this point that he intends to do so. There’s already people out there who suspect Trump has been compromised by the deep state.
Thank you!
