The Justice Department and FBI are struggling to contain the fallout and appease the demands of far-right conservative personalities and influential members of President Donald Trump’s base after the administration's decision this week to withhold records from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

Laura Loomer claims FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over Pam Bondi’s Epstein files row, but no official confirmation backs this yet.

The Trump administration’s promises to release extensive and significant new information related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein appear to be petering out – depriving conspiracy-minded MAGA supporters of the smoking guns they have long sought as they’ve publicly tried to tie influential figures to Epstein’s crimes.
