The Federal Bureau of Investigation could face a major leadership shakeup as early as this weekend, with sources claiming Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino may submit his resignation. The move comes amid growing calls from MAGA loyalists urging former President Donald Trump to remove Attorney General Blondi from her position.
According to conservative commentator Laura Loomer, multiple insiders say Bongino is frustrated with current DOJ leadership and may step down before Monday. Loomer shared the update on social media, citing a source close to the situation.
Bongino’s rumored resignation adds pressure
Loomer said Bongino is strongly considering stepping away from his post and is reportedly not alone in his criticism. She noted that former Department of Defense official Kash Patel supports Bongino’s view and agrees that Blondi should be removed from her role as attorney general.
“Blondi is a massive liability to this otherwise great administration,” Loomer wrote, reflecting sentiments from MAGA activists who believe the AG is undermining Trump’s agenda.
Although there has been no official confirmation from the FBI or Trump’s office, the rumors have already sparked speculation about deeper tensions inside the administration’s law enforcement structure.
MAGA base demands Trump take action
The reaction from the MAGA base has been swift. Supporters of the former president are demanding decisive action, calling on Trump to fire Blondi immediately. Critics say she has failed to align with the administration’s priorities and has created unnecessary political risks.
One activist said Trump needs to clean house and send a message that ineffective leadership will not be tolerated in a second term. Others warned that leaving Blondi in place could fracture support among conservative voters who feel betrayed by her decisions.
Bongino, a former Secret Service agent turned media figure, was tapped for the FBI leadership post under the Trump-aligned administration. His involvement was seen as a move to restore trust in federal law enforcement after years of internal controversy and politicization.
White House silent as tension builds
As of Saturday morning, neither Bongino nor Blondi had publicly addressed the situation. The FBI also declined to comment when contacted for clarification. Trump’s office has yet to issue a formal statement, although insiders say discussions are already taking place about possible replacements should either official step down or be removed.
Sources close to the matter say Trump is aware of the growing unrest within the MAGA movement over Blondi’s leadership and is considering his options carefully.
Whether Bongino moves forward with his resignation remains uncertain. But with conservative pressure mounting and internal discontent reaching new levels, the next 48 hours could mark a critical turning point for the Department of Justice.
And with MAGA loyalists demanding accountability, the question now is whether Trump will act — or risk a public fallout with his own base.
