1.1 The Epstein Files Crisis: Feud Erupts Between DOJ and FBI
A severe internal crisis is fracturing the administration’s top law enforcement agencies over the handling of the “Epstein files” [1]. The conflict between Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino reportedly escalated into a “White House blowup” after the Department of Justice issued a controversial memo, creating a public and destabilizing rift [2, 3]. In the blowup’s aftermath, relations between the two leaders are described as roiled, with reports that Deputy Director Bongino has been absent from his duties and has privately told associates he is considering resignation [4, 5]. This high-level feud threatens to have cascading effects on agency morale and operations.
