After a tense Friday marked by an unprecedented clash between the FBI and the DOJ over the mishandling of the Epstein case, the White House said reports of the alleged clash between FBI deputy director Dan Bongino and Attorney General Pam Bondi are baseless.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino had a heated argument over the DOJ's move to close the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files flap is cascading, further roiling a Justice Department and FBI that have struggled for months to appease the demands of far-right conservative personalities and influential members of President Donald Trump’s base.

Attorney Spencer Kuvin, who represents one of Epstein’s victims, shared: "We certainly knew that Mr. Trump was a close friend of Mr. Epstein during those exact years that Mr. Epstein was molesting these young girls. "These are two gentlemen that definitely ran in the same circles."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to explain why Attorney General Pam Bondi talked earlier this year of a Jeffrey Epstein client list but now a Justice Department memo says there is none.

An irate attorney general is said to have confronted the deputy director of the F.B.I. at a tense White House meeting earlier in the week.

Earlier this week, the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that sexual predator and financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while incarcerated in New York in 2019.

The White House is facing a barrage of criticism after sharing an edited image of President Donald Trump as Superman on social media. In a post on X and Instagram late Thursday, the official account took inspiration from one of the DC tentpole’s most famous catchphrases: “THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP.”

As with many of Trump's social media posts recently even on his own TruthSocial site, commenters have refused to let go of the subject of the Jeffrey Epstein client list, with many of the users on Thursday's post asking why it won't be released.
