Kash Patel Posts Statement on “Conspiracy Theories” and Staying at FBI After Leaks Drama Over Epstein Files, Bondi and Bongino

A day after a leaks war played out in the media over the (mis)handling of the Epstein files by Attorney General Pan Bondi that started with reports that a disgruntled Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino had not come to work on Friday and featured rumors of threatened resignations and demands for her firing, FBI Director Kash Patel finally spoke out about the controversy.

Patel’s comment, posted to his personal X account, will not put the matter to rest, but his statement on his tenure as FBI director is pretty definitive:

“The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.”

The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.

— Kash Patel (@Kash_Patel) July 12, 2025

The questions asked by many responding to Patel are, “What conspiracy theories?” and “Where are the rest of the Epstein files?”

No word from Bongino yet on his status. Laura Loomer and Axios each reported that an unhappy Bongino took Friday off and is reportedly pondering his future at the FBI.

Bondi has not commented either, but it was reported Saturday she has fired more DOJ personnel involved with the Trump and J6 prosecutions, and has posted her decision to drop charges against a doctor from the COVID era.

I’d also like to thank @SenMikeLee who has been a champion for advocating to end the weaponization of government, including to Dr. Moore.

Ok then thats the rules.

Be entirely cynical about notions like liberty and justice for all. Just as long as its convenient and suits you. Your position is very animalistic I see.

Kash is beyond pathetic. If he had any integrity, he’d resign.

As a hard core conspiracy theorist I may have to reluctantly conclude that Kash is not my friend.

Lol.

Is Kash going to investigate the conspiracy theory that Trump shooter didn’t act alone or is that one out as well?

Imho case closed.

That is a classic conspiracy theory.

Old news.

Fortunately for Trump, the majority of his supporters are BRAVECTO.

He must have got his CIA 101 booklet to use that phrase.

When someone uses the term “conspiracy theory” it means they believe everything in life is a coincidence.

They are totally baffled as to why the legal system has conspiracy statutes in it.

It’s always been the rules from the beginning of time...Trump got protection from the Supreme court because he was a former President...we would never have gotten that...

In general, yes. But that wasn’t Kash a year ago. He’s been told to spout what he’s spouting—and he’s clearly willing to go along with it.

Never is a strong word there. Categorically?

Are we beyond the point where striving can lead to success and thinking that its all aristocracy now?

This should cut down on the FBI workload.

They can ignore all conspiracy cases!

Look, I’m willing to follow Trump and say the files aren’t a thing but they have to publish whatever they have even if they says it’s fake. If you want to end the investigation fine but publish and produce all the files then the people will be willing to move on. Also, he says that Blondie is working I voter fraud, j6 and some other things well that isn’t at all apparent. We’ll give her and Trump a little leeway when we see even one point on the board. So far, none. No indictments, no trials, no documents…Now you’re asking a lot

Seemed like the SS suspensions this week were part of a coverup on that front.

One thing is clear to me, the Epstein files are now worthless as blackmail material. Trump covering it up means he’s got the stench of association along with those who have done this. He’s covering for them.

So if it ever comes out, he and Patel and Bondi are also an accessory.

Trump is smart to ignore Epstein’s sordid details. Those details will not reduce national debt by 1 dollar, will not reduce trade deficit by 1 dollar, will not help deport one illegal, will not increase energy supply 1 kwh, will not reduce inflation, will not create 1 job in private sector,

Trump should focus on issues he ran on and won.

The administration needs you to help them out—in case any of the press secretaries flees in the next few weeks.

Lol.
