Bongino gave up his weekday three-hour talk radio show on Cumulus-Westwood One, a lucrative podcast/You Tube show and frequent visits to Fox News, all to become the second in command at the FBI. But things aren't working out very well. Even before this week, he was saying the work is intense, the hours are long, he's away from his family.
Now the old Bongino is at odds with the new Bongino. He frequently talked about the Jeffrey Epstein case, accused of crimes involving underaged women. Epstein, a close friend of Donald Trump and other political leaders, killed himself in his jail cell. Bongino spent many hours of radio time questioning an Epstein conspiracy. Who were his clients? Did he really commit suicide or did someone want him dead?
Media reports say he didn't show up for work on Friday and that he's thinking of quitting the FBI. After saying she had the Epstein file on her desk and was ready to reveal all, Attorney General Pam Bondi now says there was no client list and no evidence of anything other than suicide. You may remember Bongino was mad at Cumulus' requirements during the Pandemic that employees had to be vaccinated. He stopped doing his radio show and threatened to quit then too.
