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.

He would have gotten it by subpoena then, not FOIA, right?

Seriously—Bongino needs to quit.

He should not even show up in the office on Monday.

Everyone connected to this disaster could end up in prison if they don’t get out now.

This is true..... it might, however, put on on the road to getting right with GOD, and that’s got to be worth something.

I thought he said FOIA when I heard him being interviewed, but I could be wrong. Subpoena would make more sense under the circumstances, though.

Kash is dating some country singer. At least he was when he was confirmed. She is hot and she is young. Didn’t hear about Israeli. If you can find his swearing-in ceremony, you can see her.

So, we were told a video of Epstein's cell the not of his death didn't exist and, then, it suddenly appears with a kye minute missing and that isn't coverup?

Bondi backtracking on their being a client list isn't an example of coverup?

We've had reports for years of underage girls being raped on Epstein Island and now we're being told there were no victims?

Imagine what a Special Counsel would do with this stuff.

It would be a bloodbath for the administration—as bad as Watergate.

Folks who are in denial better wake up quick.

What’s getting old is the claim there weren’t victims on Epstein island and that there hasn’t been a coverup.

Here’s my take, Alan Dershowitz confirmed there is a list. Why is there any debate about there not being a list.

Of course there's a list. There's lots of lists. It's just not the "list" people have imagined in their heads that can send people to prison.

Maybe Kash investigate all the media reports that claimed underage girls were raped on Epstein island. There are plenty that have been done over the years. Google it.

That's one hell of a straw man you're invented there.

the “epstein list” brouhaha is simply another corporate anti-Trump propaganda media-driven wedge to use to try to split MAGA ...

the Trump-hating corporate propaganda media has created these fake controversies by the bushel and each time declare that "the walls are closing in" ...

you'd think anyone paying attention would realize this by now and quit running around with their hair on fire while clutching their pearls, or worse, fanning the fake flames of manufactured "controversy" as a convert means to attack President Trump ...

the “epstein list” is nothing but a tempest in a teapot relative to the actual YUGE issues regarding our Republic’s survival, such as border control, ejecting illegal aliens, esp. violent illegal alien criminals, staving off the rise of the Zohran branch of the Democrats to national power, preservation of free speech, reshoring manufacturing, maintaining energy independence, squashing the Democrats insane and pointless waste of billions of dollars on mandating “green energy” and nearly useless EVs, dumping CAFE standards, and dismantling the rest of the biden-era agenda, dismantling the rest of the Deep State by rooting out Deep State spending and Deep State government traitors and sending a few of the big fish to prison ...

relative to all of the above, everything “epstein” is a pale shadow of irrelevancy, and those here at FR who keep harping on the “epstein” nonsense are simply using it as an excuse to covertly weaken MAGA because they're to cowardly to directly attack President Trump himself, knowing that will get them zotted ...
