In a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche rebuked any “daylight” between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) regarding conclusions reached in the Jeffrey Epstein files memo.
Blanche posted, “I worked closely with @FBIDirectorKash and @FBIDDBonginoon the joint FBI and DOJ memo regarding the Epstein Files. All of us signed off on the contents of the memo and the conclusions stated in the memo. The suggestion by anyone that there was any daylight between the FBI and DOJ leadership on this memo’s composition and release is patently false.”

His response seemed to be aimed at far-right media personality, Laura Loomer, who posted on X on Friday, “@FBIDirectorKash and @dbongino are LIVID with @AGPamBondi over her DOJ Memo and the lack of transparency from her office regarding the Jeffery Epstein files. Source tells me Dan Bongino is taking the day off today from his job as Deputy Director of the FBI, and there’s now speculation on whether or not he will return to his job at the @FBI over his disgust with Blondi’s lack of transparency and handling of the Epstein files. Pam Blondi has brought total embarrassment to President Trump, @JDVance ,@dbongin and@Kash_Patel.”
Her lengthy post continued, “She has also LIED to the American people. I’m told Kash and Bongino are furious with Blondi and the blowback she has caused them with her lack of transparency. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino should call for Blondi’s public resignation today to save themselves and to also push for full transparency into the Epstein files. This is an issue the American people care deeply about. Someone needs to be fired for this. Giving Blondi courtesy to resign is more than she deserves. Trump should just FIRE her.”
Earlier this week, the Department of Justice and FBI announced the results of a joint review of “investigative holdings relating to Jeffrey Epstein,” concluding that the convicted sex offender had died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting further sex trafficking charges.
The agencies also said Epstein did not have a “client list,” something Trump suggested during his presidential campaign that he would release if elected.
In February, Bondi also fueled speculation about such a list when announcing the release of records related to Epstein’s case. But much of what the government later distributed had been in the public domain for years. The FBI and DOJ’s conclusion that there is no evidence of the long-rumored Epstein “client list” has sparked criticism from members of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
