Tensions within the Trump administration have escalated after a reported heated exchange earlier in the week between Bongino and Bondi.

Many of President Donald Trump’s close advisers, both inside and outside the White House, have grown increasingly frustrated with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case,

The Justice Department and FBI's investigation finding no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was murdered – or kept a "client list" – caused infighting among parts of President Trump's administration and his supporters.

The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files flap is cascading, further roiling a Justice Department and FBI that have struggled for months to appease the demands of far-right conservative personalities and influential members of President Donald Trump’s base.

Democratic strategist David Axelrod suggested Sunday that President Trump is to blame for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s “180” when it comes to releasing files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Justice Department and FBI are struggling to contain the fallout from last week's decision to withhold records from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which rankled influential far-right media personalities and supporters of President Donald Trump.
