The report even quoted an unnamed figure saying, “Pam in particular cannot stand him. Blanche either.” Then came the kicker: Fox suggested Bongino himself was finished, linking his supposed downfall to an “Epstein feud with Bondi.”
It was a textbook D.C. smear — loaded with nameless sources, short on proof.
Bongino Fires Back
Bongino wasn’t about to sit quietly while his reputation got dragged. Appearing on The Megyn Kelly Show, he ripped the entire narrative to shreds.
“Megyn, I don’t even– So just to be clear, I’ve read the report, I spoke to Jacqui. Everyone on the record you just cited, on the record said the exact opposite. You can read the report yourself,” Bongino explained.
Then he lowered the boom, calling Fox’s story exactly what it was: “garbage reporting.”
His point was undeniable — every person who put their name on the record contradicted the so-called “inside” sources.
Anonymous Sources, Swamp Tactics
Bongino highlighted the rot in modern political reporting. Bureaucrats who hate reform whisper poison into a journalist’s ear, and suddenly the rumor becomes a headline.
“So just to be clear, an off-the-record person who was not willing to put their name to any of this, who may not like what the director and I are doing here, off the record said, ‘Wow these guys are in a lot of trouble,’” Bongino said.
Meanwhile, “On the record, everyone from the president to Todd to Pam to everyone else says the exact opposite.”
The absurdity is obvious. If Trump wanted Bongino gone, Bongino noted, the president wouldn’t hesitate. “If the White House was unhappy and President Trump was unhappy, you and I have known the president a long time, you really believe the president’s not just gonna call?” he asked Kelly.
Exactly. If Trump wanted Bongino out, he’d already be gone.
Why This Matters
For years, the FBI ran wild trying to sabotage Trump. Now Bongino and Patel are inside the building cleaning house — and that terrifies the establishment.
So the swamp fights back with anonymous gossip, and Fox News of all places decides to amplify it. That’s why this story isn’t just about one bad report. It’s about the media ecosystem protecting its own.
Even conservative outlets sometimes end up carrying water for D.C. insiders desperate to protect their gravy train. Bongino just exposed that game in real time.
And he did it with two devastating words that Fox News won’t soon forget: “garbage reporting.”
