On Friday, the D.C. news cycle was dominated by apparent tumult at the Department of Justice and reports that either FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and/or Director Kash Patel were considering resigning. The drama was caused by the DOJ’s statement Sunday that Jeffrey Epstein did in fact commit suicide and that there was no “client list.”

Many observers had expected more information and were critical of the report.
As I reported Friday night, Just the News editor-in-chief John Solomon said that he had information indicating that Patel was not going anywhere. Turns out, he was right, according to Patel himself:
The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.
