Kash Patel SLAMS Trump’s FBI Budget Cut, Warns of Mission Risk and Operational Breakdown | WATCH
FBI Director Kash Patel has strongly opposed President Trump’s proposed $545 million budget cut to the FBI, warning it would Cripple core operations.
Testifying before the House Appropriations Committee, Patel stated that the agency cannot fulfill its mission with 2011-level funding.
Trump’s budget prioritizes counterterrorism and fieldwork, slashing D.C.
Overhead and defunding diversity programs. Patel said the FBI needs $11.1 billion to operate without layoffs and is urgently negotiating with Congress to reverse the cut.
The dispute underscores tensions between Trump’s fiscal agenda and federal law enforcement priorities.
FBI Chief Kash Patel has firmly denied widespread speculation about his resignation, calling the rumors “conspiracy theories” and pledging unwavering loyalty to President Donald Trump. In a viral post on X, Patel wrote, “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President... and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.” The statement comes amid MAGA-world turmoil over Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein Files and swirling reports that top officials, including Dan Bongino and Patel himself, were ready to quit. Patel’s firm rebuttal is a major signal of unity in Trump’s inner circle, especially after George Santos’ viral post speculating on Matt Gaetz replacing Bondi. As Trump’s administration faces growing scrutiny, Patel’s loyalty appears rock-solid — and his denial could help quash internal rebellion rumors and redirect focus back to Trump's re-election priorities.

Rumors are flying after former Rep. George Santos posted a cryptic message suggesting Rep. Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General. The speculation comes amid MAGA outrage over Bondi's failed promises about the Epstein files and a DOJ report debunking her claims of a “client list.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over the internal feud, and FBI Chief Kash Patel could follow.
As calls for Bondi’s resignation grow louder, Santos’ viral X post—"Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!"—fueled speculation. Meanwhile, conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson slammed Bondi’s actions, with Carlson reviving theories about Epstein’s intel ties. Amid the firestorm, many MAGA loyalists are pushing for Gaetz to be installed as acting AG, even if temporarily. Will Trump make the move?

Pam Bondi is facing intense backlash from MAGA loyalists following the DOJ and FBI’s conclusion that there is no “Epstein client list.” The admission contradicts Bondi’s claim that such a list existed and was “on her desk,” a statement she made on Fox News in February. MAGA influencers like Laura Loomer, Liz Wheeler, and Megyn Kelly have publicly criticized Bondi, accusing her of either ignorance or laziness.
Sources say FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering resigning after a heated dispute with Bondi, while FBI Chief Kash Patel may follow suit. Internal friction has escalated into a full-blown crisis, with calls for Bondi’s resignation intensifying across conservative media. This debacle comes amid renewed scrutiny over Epstein documents and rising frustration that key files remain unreleased. The fallout could result in a major shakeup within the DOJ and Trump-aligned circles, with Bondi at the center of the storm.
