“It’s 7,000 to zero,” Kirk replied. Kelly chimed in, saying the crowd wants Bongino because he “understands MAGA” and “is part of the MAGA movement.”

“He’s been in the trenches,” she added before questioning whether Bondi “really gets MAGA.” The conservative commentator doesn’t think she does.

Earlier Friday, reports surfaced of Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel’s dissatisfaction with Bondi over the Epstein files. The attorney general repeatedly promised she would release troves of information on late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein‘s client list, but the DOJ now says no such list exists.

The Department of Justice also concluded Epstein’s death was caused by suicide, not homicide, in prison. To show there was no foul play in his death, DOJ officials released footage showing the area outside Epstein’s prison cell the night he died. However, one minute of the footage was missing around midnight, suggesting the footage may have been modified.

As a result, Bongino and Patel are reportedly considering resigning from their positions. Meanwhile, the Justice Department disputed any such conflict and denounced such reports.

“I worked closely with [Patel] and [Bongino] on the joint FBI and DOJ memo regarding the Epstein Files,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted on X. “All of us signed off on the contents of the memo and the conclusions stated in the memo. The suggestion by anyone that there was any daylight between the FBI and DOJ leadership on this memo’s composition and release is patently false.”

Kelly is calling on Bondi to resign, especially after she invited right-wing influencers to the White House in February to receive binders featuring largely known information about Epstein.

Bondi “brought in some of our best influencers, people that I care about deeply,” Kirk said, naming Jack Posobiec, Chaya Raichik, who goes by Libs of TikTok on social media, and Rogan O’Handley, also known as DC Draino, out of the 15 total influencers present for the publicity stunt.

“She gave them these binders, and she humiliated them,” he continued. “You guys were upset. You shouldn’t be upset at the influencers. They were handed these binders like there was something incredible in them.”

Kelly said that is “what you would do to an enemy.”

She also took issue with Bondi’s empty promises on Fox News that the Epstein files, including the client list that the DOJ head at one point said was sitting on her desk, would be released shortly after she reviewed them.

“She knew they were bull****. She knew that there was nothing in there,” Kelly said.

She explained how the influencers were then led out of the White House, where the press corps photographed them holding the binders. The incident outraged conservatives on social media, including some of the influencers who are now calling for Bondi’s resignation.

Liz Wheeler, in particular, told Kelly that she and the other influencers were promised another trove of information and told that the binders contained little new information. The influencers didn’t expect to receive the binders, as the Epstein files were not the original purpose of their visit to the White House.

“They didn’t even know they were there for Epstein, and they looked foolish through no fault of their own,” Kelly concluded. “The only fault was they trusted her.”

Friday’s TPUSA event marks the latest instance Kelly has criticized the Trump administration over the Epstein files.

Earlier this week, she slammed Bondi but gave Bongino, whom she personally knows, the benefit of the doubt.

“I trust [Dan Bongino] not to actively mislead me or you,” Kelly said on Emily Jashinsky’s podcast After Party. “However, Pam Bondi has definitely made multiple inconsistent statements, and I’m sorry, but she does not deserve the benefit of my good opinion, and I’m not prepared to give it to her.”
