Side-by-Side Bombshells: Bongino’s Epstein Take in 2023 vs What He Just Said in 2025 (WATCH)
Washington, D.C. – You’ve got to see this. A video side-by-side comparison of FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s statements on Jeffrey Epstein in 2023 versus 2025 has gone viral, racking up over 1.5 million views. Conservatives are scratching their heads, wondering, “Did someone get to him?” The footage, posted on X, captures a stark shift that’s got everyone talking.
On the left, there’s Bongino in 2023, sitting in front of a microphone, wearing a black “We The People” shirt, his expression intense as he demands, “Listen, that Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal. Please do not let that story go. Keep your eye on this.” The backdrop is dark, with a “Dan Bongino Show” logo, and the date stamp reads “05/01/2023.” Fast forward to 2025, and there’s Bongino in a grey suit and yellow tie, standing in front of American and state flags, calmly stating, “That was it. Details surrounding the death. Sunday Morning Futures.” The chyron reads “THAT WAS IT,” and the context is clear—he’s changed his tune.
The shift is jarring. In 2023, Bongino was all fire, pushing for answers about Epstein’s death, hinting at a cover-up with the Washington swamp. By 2025, he’s saying, “I’ve seen the whole file,” and essentially closing the book on it. Conservatives are livid. “Did someone threaten him to change his stance so much?” one user on X asked. Another added, “Bongino’s 2023 self would be disgusted with 2025 Bongino—something’s not right here.”

The video’s timing couldn’t be worse, coming just after Bongino’s appointment as Deputy FBI Director, raising questions about whether his new role influenced his perspective. The Epstein case, with its ties to powerful figures like Bill Clinton and the CIA director, was always controversial, and Bongino’s 2023 stance resonated with those who believed there was more to the story. Now, his 2025 position—that Epstein killed himself—feels like a betrayal to many. “He knew too much, and now he’s singing a different tune,” another X user wrote.
Watching this side-by-side, you can’t help but wonder what changed. Was it pressure from his new job? Or did he really see something in those files that turned him around? Either way, it’s a moment that’s going to stick, proving once again that in Washington, nothing’s ever as it seems. And for conservatives, it’s a reminder that only true outsiders like Trump can navigate this swamp without getting swallowed up.
