(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi on Saturday amid backlash against her from some of Trump's supporters over how the Justice Department handled the investigation into the death of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged clientele.

After it was revealed that Bongino—who climbed the MAGA ranks as a conspiracy theorist claiming a “Washington swamp” cover-up over Epstein—is reportedly considering resigning his position over a feud with Bondi, now it seems that Patel wants Bondi gone, too.
