Kash Patel Weighs Resignation Amid Epstein Files Fallout
The aftershocks of the Epstein files disclosure continue to ripple through Washington D.C., as former Trump adviser and current FBI official Kash Patel reportedly contemplates stepping down. The leaked documents have reignited scrutiny over high-profile figures linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Patel’s name, though not directly involved in the documents, has become central in conservative media debates over handling the scandal.
According to multiple sources cited by NDTV and Times of India, Patel is under immense pressure from within his own circles to either clarify his position or exit altogether.
Internal GOP Tensions Escalate: Bondi vs Bongino
Adding fuel to the fire, two influential conservative voices—Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, and Dan Bongino, right-wing commentator—are now publicly clashing over the Patel situation. Bondi has called for transparency and a firm response to the growing backlash, while Bongino defends Patel, claiming the attacks are politically motivated.
This Bondi-Bongino feud has fragmented supporters and created visible fault lines within conservative media and party insiders.
Political Repercussions Continue to Mount
While Patel has not made any public statements confirming resignation, insiders suggest that he views stepping down as a strategic move to preserve the credibility of the FBI and avoid further political crossfire. The Epstein files have once again highlighted the blurred lines between criminal investigations, public transparency, and political allegiances.
At the same time, the White House has yet to issue any comment regarding Patel’s status, choosing instead to distance itself from what it considers an “internal agency matter.”

Background: Epstein Files Reignite Public Outrage
The recent leak of the Epstein documents has stirred global reactions. The files, containing names of several public figures, reignited discussions around the lack of accountability for those allegedly associated with Epstein’s network. Despite years of public demand for justice, many believe the legal system continues to shield the elite.
In this climate, any association—even indirect—with the scandal can become politically toxic.
