FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino broke his silence since revelations of notorious billionaire Jeffrey Epstein surfaced on Monday night, sending MAGA supporters into a frenzy.
According to a statement outlining the results, the FBI and Department of Justice have determined that there is no proof that Epstein was murdered, had a client list, or had blackmailed public officials, as Axios first reported on Sunday. The MAGA world and far-right conspiracy theorists have been demanding papers pertaining to Epstein’s sex trafficking case in recent years. Many of these theorists have speculated about Epstein’s cause of death and whether other people should be held accountable.
After releasing a first set of records that had no new information and told Fox News that the client list of convicted sex offenders is currently on my desk for evaluation, Attorney General Pam Bondi has repeatedly pledged to make all of the investigative files available.
President Donald Trump applauded Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel, who had come under fire, for going back to the basics as MAGA fans and Democrats alike questioned the Trump administration’s abrupt shift in tone. This prompted Bongino to respond.
We’re going all out. No slowing down, Bonginowroteon X.

However, his post sparked outrage right away.
One person replied that no one voted for business as usual, and another saidYou people are awful.
Another person commented: You let us down.
Someone used foul language to criticize Bongino: You are a useless piece of s—, so go f— yourself.
Well done, Dan! One user commented, “You made the right decision-hate the FBI again.”
The Hodgetwins, conservative political pundits, also added: “Dan, we need answers on the Epstein stuff, bro. We can’t let Bondi off the hook for lying to everyone.”
Others cited earlier remarks made by Vice President JD Vance, who has also come under fire for advocating for the list’s release.
In a poston X, In September 2021, Vance stated, “Remember when we found out that our most powerful and wealthy individuals were linked to a man who operated a real child sex trafficking ring?” Then the man mysteriously passed away in a prison? And we simply don’t discuss it anymore.
One person took his comments and added that America currently has severe doubts. You understand, I’m sure.
Epstein, a New York banker with connections to politicians and other well-known and influential individuals, was arrested in 2019 as he flew in on his private aircraft from Paris and was accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls in the early 2000s.
The case was filed over ten years after almost identical charges were settled in a covert plea agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida.
Epstein committed suicide in a high-security section in a New York jail a few weeks after his arrest. Since then, Epstein has been the focus of considerable media investigation, popular intrigue, and conspiracy theories due to his crimes, high-profile connections, and death.
