Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, “is out of control furious,” one source told NBC News. Another said he did not report to work on Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department and FBI are struggling to contain the fallout from this week’s decision to withhold records from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which rankled influential far-right media personalities and supporters of President Donald Trump.

The FBI and DOJ said Epstein did not have a "client list," something Trump suggested during his campaign that he would release.

Billionaire Elon Musk indicated Tuesday that releasing files related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein will be a major goal for his third party. President Donald Trump and his administration confirmed Tuesday it had finished its investigation into Epstein,

Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously promised the public release of scores of records associated with federal probes into Epstein.

Representative Tim Burchett said he thinks files related to Jeffrey Epstein were "destroyed" by the Biden administration.
