New controversies surrounding the case of the infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein have now come to the public’s attention. There have been sharp disagreements and accusations between Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Don Bonzino over how to handle the case.
Pam Bondi and her allies have accused Bonzino of being responsible for the negative coverage of Bondi in the right-wing media. But these allegations have not been officially confirmed by anyone. Some say that this is only information obtained from behind-the-scenes conversations. All this has turned into a conflict of political vendetta and power.
Conflict and disagreement in the White House meeting
At a key meeting at the White House on Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi expressed his anger. He directly questioned FBI Deputy Director Don Bonzino about the reason for the journalist’s leak. The meeting was attended by FBI Director Kash Patel, White House Director Susie Wiles and his deputy Taylor Patowitz. Bonzino has categorically denied the allegations.
In addition, Pam Bondi has recently spread the word that if Epstein’s case is reexamined, a list of his clients related to sex crimes will be released and suspicions about his death in custody in 2019 will be rekindled. Bonzino has criticized this as exaggerated and far from the truth. This has further intensified the disagreement between them.
Bonzino’s claim has come back to haunt him
Dan Bonzino, on his popular and profitable Fast-Ghost show, has exaggerated the theory that there is a huge cover-up in the Epstein case and that authorities are covering up the truth. But now those shocking claims have come back to haunt him. This has caused him serious political and power problems.
In addition, right-wing social media influencer Laura Loomer has stated that Bonzino is very upset about the current situation and is considering resigning. This information has not been denied by his close circle. They also said that Bonzino is considering many options, including resignation, with great heartache. This has made his situation even worse.

The decision to close the case will reveal that Bondi is not the leader
Don Bonzino had already openly told Past News that he did not want his current job. When asked, “Do you like it?”, his direct answer was “no.” This shows that his mental state is currently under great pressure.
In this case, the Justice Department and the FBI have not responded to the media when asked who made the decision to close the Epstein case. But according to senior Justice Department officials, the key decisions regarding closing the case were made by Don Bonzino, his deputy Todd Blanche and the FBI. Director Kash Patel and Pam Bondi later approved the decision. This makes it clear that the decision to close the case was not a unilateral action led by Pam Bondi.
Todd Blanche explains that we made a similar decision in the Epstein case
In the controversy over who was responsible for closing the Epstein case, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has clearly explained on his social media account.
He said that he worked with FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bonzino to create a memorandum to close the Epstein case, and that everyone unanimously agreed on the decisions in that memorandum. Through this, he explained that there was no division or individual action in this decision, and everyone was of the same opinion.
Trump’s response and official announcement of the case’s outcome
While the controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case has been at a high point, former US President Donald Trump has not made his position on the matter clear. Given his past association with Epstein, it is still unclear how he will respond to the issue.
However, Trump has categorically advised his supporters not to continue talking about such matters. During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, he reportedly angrily replied, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” when someone tried to ask about Epstein.
That same day, the Justice Department announced that it was officially closing the Epstein case, saying there was no need to reopen it and that it was inappropriate to release any further information. This was seen as an attempt to put an end to the controversies surrounding the case.
