Bongino still in limbo as Trump fumes and JD Vance seeks to play mediator, sources say

(CNN) Several of President Donald Trump’s top officials went to work on Monday with a key question unanswered: would Dan Bongino show up?

Hours later, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed he did. But his long-term future as deputy director of the FBI appeared uncertain.

Bongino did not go into the office Friday and largely excommunicated himself from most of his colleagues after a major fallout with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

As of Monday morning, no one in leadership at the Justice Department had spoken to Bongino since Wednesday, when he implied that he could no longer continue in his position as long as Bondi was there, sources familiar with the matter said.
