Trump Speaks with FBI’s Bongino Amid Epstein Controversy
Washington D.C. – President Donald Trump revealed on Sunday that he conversed with Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, aiming to assuage concerns surrounding the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death, which was ruled a suicide. Trump expressed confidence in Bongino’s position despite reports suggesting he had considered resignation.
"Dan Bongino, very good guy… I’ve known him a long time," Trump stated, reinforcing Bongino’s ties to his ‘Make America Great Again’ base, which has long been skeptical of Epstein’s demise and associated conspiracy theories. A recent memo from the FBI and Justice Department dismissed longstanding theories about Epstein’s death and his alleged clientele.
However, public figures such as Laura Loomer and Elon Musk have criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel for their findings. Reports suggest tensions between Bongino and Bondi over the Epstein case, as Bongino had previously expressed concerns about potential hidden information regarding Epstein’s connections.
In other news, Trump has been invited for a second state visit to the UK by King Charles this September, marking a historical precedent. However, his public appearance at the Club World Cup final in New Jersey met with mixed reactions, as he faced boos from the crowd during the national anthem and trophy presentation.
On the international front, Trump threatened 30% tariffs on EU imports, eliciting a sharp response from European leaders concerned about the impact on transatlantic trade. Amidst this tumult, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the remaking of FEMA in light of recent disasters, emphasizing the need for adaptation.
As Trump continues to push policy changes, he also pledged military support to Ukraine amid escalating tensions with Russia, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to national defense.
