FBI Director Kash Patel denies rumors of his resignation over frustration with the DOJ’s decision to close the Epstein investigation. The DOJ and FBI concluded there was no incriminating client list, no blackmail evidence, and no basis to reopen the case, despite pressure from MAGA hardliners like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon.

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is reportedly furious over the decision and may resign after a clash with AG Pam Bondi, though DOJ leadership insists there’s full agreement on the memo. Trump, frustrated with Epstein-related questions, dismissed ongoing interest in the case as absurd.

The FBI-DOJ memo confirmed possession of vast evidence, including child abuse material, but no proof of high-profile blackmail schemes. Conspiracy theories persist among MAGA figures despite lack of evidence.
