The media learned about the possible resignation of the deputy director of the FBI due to disagreements over the Epstein case

Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Dan Bongino may resign due to disagreements with representatives of other agencies in the case of American financier Jeffrey Epstein. This was reported on July 11 by the Semafor portal, citing sources.

"FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering leaving his post amid controversy over the Department of Justice's approach to the Jeffrey Epstein case," the publication says.

It is reported that the official has not yet made a final decision on his resignation. However, on Friday, July 11, he did not return to work after a meeting with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. It is currently unknown if Bongino will return to his duties in the future.

"Bongino is disappointed that the Justice Department earlier this week declared Epstein's case effectively closed and ruled that the accused sex trafficker committed suicide while awaiting trial," the source explained.

Someone saw the incident as a PR disaster, someone saw it as sabotage.

In 2019, Epstein was arrested on charges of organizing sex trafficking and involving minors in prostitution. A few months after his arrest, he committed suicide in a correctional center. In January 2024, the first part of the documents was published, containing the names of more than 150 people involved in the Epstein case in one way or another. Among them were former US President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The Mirror reported on September 4 last year that visitors to the businessman's island were afraid that American leader Donald Trump would reveal their names.
