After “quite a bit of drama in the White House,” the network’s panel suggested the FBI’s deputy director is staring at defeat in his bust-up with Attorney General Pam Bondi.

A Fox News panel suggested Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino stands little chance of surviving his ultimatum about working alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi amid mounting blowback over the agency’s handling of the Epstein files. Bongino reportedly failed to show up to work on Friday and has threatened to resign after sparring with Bondi in a tense White House exchange. The row comes after a leaked memo revealed the FBI and DOJ have essentially closed their investigation on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019. “It’s a lot easier to be a commentator, a pundit, a bomb thrower on the outside,” network radio analyst Josh Kraushaer said of Bongino, who has “disappointed a lot of those grassroots followers in saying there’s nothing to see here.”
