>(...) However, that person agreed that Bongino was "enraged." The source said the deputy director was angry about the Epstein memo rollout and what he viewed as Bondi's "lack of transparency from the start." The memo, a joint product of the DOJ and FBI, said the two agencies had no further information to share with the public about Epstein's case, a revelation that sparked fury among the MAGA base. The memo first appeared in Axios over the weekend, and then the DOJ and FBI published it Monday.
Asked about the claim that Bongino yelled at Wiles, a White House official said it was "100% false." Wiles is a veteran of Florida politics who led Trump's campaign, and the president has described her as "universally admired."
The fracture in DOJ and FBI leadership spilled into the public on Friday amid fallout from the memo.
The memo stated that the DOJ and FBI concluded their review of Epstein's files and did not find any information that could lead to charges against anyone new.
Despite Bongino reportedly now breaking with leadership over the memo and weighing resignation, people familiar with the matter said as of Friday that FBI Director Kash Patel and Bondi remained in communication and that Patel is happy with his job.
"The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been," Patel tweeted Saturday afternoon. "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."
