FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is on the defensive after the release of an email showing he'd been made aware of the Trump administration's sweeping redactions of Jeffrey Epstein files on his second day on the job. Bongino, 50, was appointed to the post in March, having carved out a career as a MAGA-friendly podcaster who regularly demanded the government's full and unredacted release of all documents relating to the late pedophile financier. But with the Trump administration having fought a months-long campaign to keep the files secret"which included a frantic scramble by the FBI last spring to make sweeping redactions"Bongino has since changed his tune, with minimal explanation.
