After ‘quite a bit of drama in the White House,' the network's panel thinks the FBI's deputy director is almost certainly staring at defeat in his bust-up with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
A Fox News panel suggested Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino stands little chance of surviving his ultimatum about working alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi amid mounting blowback over the agency's handling of the Epstein files. Bongino reportedly failed to show up to work on Friday and has threatened to resign after sparring with Bondi in a tense White House exchange.
