Laura Loomer lit up social media on Friday with a string of posts, and one of them was quickly confirmed by major outlets.
She reported that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is “now seriously thinking about RESIGNING” over the backlash from the Epstein Files memo, which concluded there was no conspiracy.
CNN and Axios confirmed the report not long after.
Loomer also followed up with her initial report, stating that if Attorney General Pam Bondi is fired, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is being floated as a possible replacement.
“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,” she said on X, intentionally throwing shade at Bondi with the nickname “Blondi.”
She added that some GOP donors are privately backing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for the job, though he is looking to challenge incumbent U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in the primary.
“Discussions have been taking place for several months about who could be Blondi’s replacement if she ever was fired or resigned,” Loomer said. “She has not done a good job as AG and everyone knows it.”
Loomer has been hammering Bondi for weeks and has repeatedly called for her resignation.
In another post, she said, “A lot of people who work for President Trump are pissed with Blondi. They know she Fkd up. Now it’s a matter of what happens next. She is an embarrassment to Donald Trump and his administration and we need to protect Trump from people who want to DRAG HIM DOWN. Blondi needs to be fired.”
After the Bongino resignation scoop broke wide, Loomer took a victory lap.
“CNN @kaitlancollins is now confirming my exclusive report about how @dbongino is considering RESIGNING from the FBI over his clash with Pam Blondi and the DOJ for her mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and lack of transparency at the DOJ,” she said. “Notice how they don’t even cite my reporting even though I was first to break the news about him taking the day off today and contemplating resigning.”
