It seems FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino pulled an Irish exit. On Monday, CNN host Kaitlan Collins said on “Anderson Cooper 360” that things at the White House are so chaotic in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein files fiasco that President Donald Trump’s aides are reaching out to reporters to figure out what’s going on in their own administration — which includes whether or not Bongino is still working for the FBI.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly returned to work Monday, but his future in the Trump administration still remains unclear.

It usually works the other way around, but the Epstein files furor now has the White House turned so inside-out that bewildered aides have been quietly reaching out to CNN for clarity over what on earth is going on in their own administration.

Several of President Trump’s top officials went to work Monday with a key question unanswered: Would Dan Bongino show up for work today?

In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump wrote that the Epstein story has been orchestrated by Democrats. But figures in his administration, like FBI Director Kash Patel, Vice President JD Vance and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino had pushed conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein before taking their administration posts.
