MAGA activist Laura Loomer has set her sights on ousting Attorney General Pam Bondi, as the White House fends off fury from the president’s base over its handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal case and death.
Loomer called on FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino to ask for Bondi’s public resignation Friday morning, writing on social media that Patel and Bongino had clashed with Bondi over the investigation.
Loomer also claimed that Bongino had taken the day off from work “to evaluate whether or not he wants to continue his position,” which POLITICO has not independently confirmed. Axios later reported that Bongino did not attend work on Friday after butting heads with Bondi earlier this week.
“Pam Blondi is very damaging to President Trump’s image. She drags the administration down and the base doesn’t want her as AG,” Loomer wrote in a post on X. “She is harming Trump’s administration and she’s embarrassing all of his staff and advisors by creating a PR crisis for them. It’s incredibly unfair to President Trump and his team.”
In a statement, White House spokesperson Harrison Fields disavowed reports of infighting surrounding the investigation within the administration. “President Trump has assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order team dedicated to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims,” Fields said. “This work is being carried out seamlessly and with unity. Any attempt to sow division within this team is baseless and distracts from the real progress being made in restoring public safety and pursuing justice for all.”
The Trump administration announced Monday night that a DOJ and FBI review found no evidence that Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 in a New York jail cell, kept an incriminating “client list” long sought after by conspiracy theorists.
Loomer’s pressure campaign is the latest development in an episode of Republican infighting about the investigation, with MAGA supporters fuming at Bondi’s Justice Department for not releasing more information about its findings.
Loomer, who has sought an official role in the administration, has long had the president’s ear, repeatedly targeting those whom she views as disloyal to the president.
In April, Loomer took credit for Trump’s firing of several National Security Council officials and criticized Trump’s pick to be the Pentagon’s top lawyer, accusing him of seeking to undermine Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. She has met with senior administration officials — including Vice President JD Vance — and continues to have sway over the president’s online base.
Even so, Trump has at times attempted to distance himself from Loomer, who has a history of promoting far-right conspiracy theories and has described herself as a “proud Islamophobe,” with some Republicans warning that Trump’s ties to the far-right activist could cost him votes in the 2024 election.
In a Friday morning social media post, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote that he worked closely with Patel and Bongino on the memo and that all three officials signed off on the memo’s contents and conclusions.
“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,” Blanche wrote.
The DOJ referred to Blanche’s statement, and the FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

FOr some reason he didnt like Sean Curran being put into the Secret Service position. He made a post and said something like I tried to warn you.
You specifically said “at the FBI.”
Can you then explain the disaster with the Binders?
Thank You.
Bondi is AG, a cabinet position in charge of DOJ, of which FBI is part of. Bongino is Dep Dir of FBI, which is one of several law enforcement agencies within DOJ, of which Bondi leads. So, maybe not third tier, but certainly not cabinet level.
He specifically said “at the FBI.”
Everything in the release was legit info on the Epstein case as promised - the big complaint was that much, but not all of it was already disclosed
If you are going to release the docs, you release all of them
I do think she got punked by the New York division who were supposed to triage vet the docs and she probably should have had an independent review done before she released them but she was under intense pressure to release Epstein content to the media and was distracted by an unprecedented and crushing level of legal work from the second she took over a seditious DOJ that hates Trump
People seem to have it for Bondi and it seems to because she is doing an effective job as head of DOJ
Here is a guy I ran across. If he turns out to be right he should be on the list that people at least read

BREAKING:
@TimBurchett
just CALLED OUT Pam Bondi for “getting out over her skis” and overhyping what she had her hands on.
This is SPOT ON!
“Pam Bondi was clearly out over her skis.”
Interesting—I will check him out and see if he has a record for reliability/good sources.
Love Bongino but he is out of line and maybe he is out of his depth in his job as Deputy FBI Director
His behavior in this is unprofessional and damaging to the President and his agenda
You don't go public saying either my boss goes or I go and if he did say that he needs to be fired
I don’t know about that. During the election this site kept pumping polls with Harris winning
I’ve always liked Bongino too; but he can be pretty hot-headed, which is not a good trait in a position requiring discretion.
Shame on her for that mistake
Bondi actually had to send the FBI and Federal Marshalls to raid her own DOJ to seize Epstein docs they were withholding
To he bottom line is Bondi is taking the heat for President Trumps unpopular and hard to defend decision to shit can the Epstein affair and flush it down the memory hole
Not quite...
Bondi aggressively marketed the Epstein issue.
She made promises she could not keep—including making statements about documents before she even looked at them.
There is zero evidence anyone forced her to do that.
She created the monster that is consuming her.
Not the site. Some individuals on the site.
There have been Trump haters here since the golden escalator ride; but again, they’re noisy but not the majority.
Yup - his hot head may have gotten the best of him on this one if the reporting is correct
And he was the guy who was responsible for totally F’ed up the one minute gap in the surveillance video that is doing the worst damage to discredit the Trump Administration so if there is anyone who needs to be fired ……..
I agree — Bondi is doing a very good job on the stuff that actually matters.
Ever notice that the government changes its mind a lot?
It’s because there a whole lot of blackmail and threats going on behind the scenes. From our allies, from powerful people and industries
