Kash Patel may resign from his position as FBI Director following the Department of Justice’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, according to sources close to the matter.
Patel is reportedly aligning with Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, who has also threatened to quit if Attorney General Pam Bondi remains in office.
The tensions stem from a July memo signed by Bondi, Bongino, and Patel, stating that there was no foul play in Epstein’s 2019 death and that no client list existed that warranted further action.
The statement clashed with Bondi’s prior public comments promising the release of new Epstein documents.
Bondi had earlier stated that the case was ongoing and that more disclosures were forthcoming, leading many within Trump’s base to expect significant revelations.
The abrupt announcement that the case was closed sparked backlash from supporters and conservative influencers.
A private White House meeting earlier this week, which included Bondi, Patel, and Bongino, reportedly turned confrontational, per Trending Politics.
Bongino accused Bondi of betraying the public’s trust and withholding documents that could implicate powerful figures in Epstein’s network.
Sources familiar with the meeting said Patel, who had been silent publicly, expressed his agreement with Bongino during the discussion.
