1. Bondi Replacement Rumors

Laura Loomer, the prominent MAGA influencer and Trump-world insider, dropped several posts on Friday, one of which turned out to be a quickly confirmed scoop. Loomer reported that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is “now seriously thinking about RESIGNING” amid the ongoing fallout from the so-called “Epstein Files” memo, concluding there was no conspiracy.

Loomer’s Bongino post was quickly confirmed by mainstream media reporters from CNN and Axios. She later posted that if President Donald Trump were to fire Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has been under fire over her handling of the Epstein case, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is a leading contender to replace her.

“If Blondi is fired, I’m told @GovRonDeSantis has been considered/floated for the role of Attorney General by some over the last few months,” Loomer wrote on X.

2. FBI Director Kash Patel Also Considering Resigning

FBI Director Kash Patel may reportedly join Deputy Director Dan Bongino in resigning if Attorney General Pam Bondi keeps her job.

According to a Friday report from Axios, Bongino and Bondi clashed over President Donald Trump’s administration’s handling of the case of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The Justice Department, led by Bondi, released a joint memo with the FBI announcing that the rumored “Epstein list” naming his associates never really existed. That conclusion contradicted Bondi’s previous claims that the supposed list was on her desk.

As a result, Bongino and Bondi reportedly got into it. That led to Bongino taking off from work on Friday “in protest.” The deputy director, according to The Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan, had also made it clear that he would be leaving his post if Bondi kept hers.

3. Metadata Shows Epstein Prison Video Likely Edited

Department of Justice this week released nearly 11 hours of what it described as “full raw” surveillance footage from a camera positioned near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The release was intended to address conspiracy theories about Epstein’s apparent suicide in federal custody. But instead of putting those suspicions to rest, it may fuel them further.

Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.

Experts caution that it’s unclear what exactly was changed, and that the metadata does not prove deceptive manipulation. The video may have simply been processed for public release using available software, with no modifications beyond stitching together two clips. But the absence of a clear explanation for the processing of the file using professional editing software complicates the Justice Department’s narrative. In a case already clouded by suspicion, the ambiguity surrounding how the file was processed is likely to provide fresh fodder for conspiracy theories.

4. Trump Visits Texas Flood Sites

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump arrived in Kerrville, Texas, Friday, following massive floods in the region that have taken the lives of more than 120 people.

The Trumps met with local officials and first responders who are navigating the aftermath of flash floods that devastated the Central Texas community, after the Guadalupe River surged more than 22 feet in just a matter of hours.

Speaking at a roundtable with state, local and federal officials in Kerrville, Trump said: “I’ve never seen anything like this. This is a bad one.”

5. Trump Offers New Visa Program for Migrant Workers

The Trump administration is launching a new visa program for migrant workers as farmers and hotel owners express concerns that their labor force is being threatened by the president’s mass deportation raids.

The Department of Labor’s newly-created Office of Immigration Policy will help fast track visas for foreign laborers — but the administration has made it clear that the initiative is “not amnesty” for illegal migrant workers, a senior administration official told Axios.

“This is not amnesty. It’s not amnesty lite,” the official told the publication. “No one who is illegally here is being given a pathway to citizenship or residency.”

6. JPM CEO Dimon Unloads on Dems: 'Idiots'

The inconvenient truth for Democrats is that there is still no bottom in sight, as the party of leftist radicals doubles, triples, and quadruples down on diversity, equity, inclusion, all things woke, and most alarmingly, a rapid descent into embracing Marxist ideas. That’s why rational people have been jumping ship from the imploding party. Just look at the tech bros who voted for President Trump and how the right side of the political spectrum reformatted itself with a relatable message: ‘America First’…

On Thursday, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon spoke at a foreign ministry event in Dublin, blasting the Democratic Party for going off the deep end with DEI, gender politics, and a series of failed policies that he said have harmed the country. “I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots,” Dimon said at the event.

“I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.” Dimon continued, “They overdid DEI …. We all were devoted to reaching out to the Black community, Hispanic, the LGBT community, the disabled — we do all of that. But to the extent, they gotta stop it. And they gotta go back to being more practical. They’re very ideological.”

7. Fed Chair Powell Considers Resigning

A senior Trump administration official said Friday that Fed Chair Jerome Powell is “considering resigning” as pressure grows for an investigation into whether he lied to Congress about the central bank’s “Palace of Versailles” renovations to its headquarters in Washington, DC.

Bill Pulte, the chair of US government-backed mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, posted on X that he heard “reports” of Powell wavering about finishing his term — without providing any evidence.

“I think this will be the right decision for America, and the economy will boom,” the former journalist and private equity titan said.
