BREAKING NEWS: Dan Bongino, the current Deputy Director of the FBI, has announced he will step down from his position in January 2024. This development comes shortly after President Donald Trump praised Bongino for his service, stating he “did a great job” and expressing that Bongino “wants to go back to his show.”
In a post on social media platform X, Bongino expressed gratitude towards President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Director Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve in a role that is often held by career agents. Bongino, who took office in February 2023, has a background as a former New York City police officer and a U.S. Secret Service agent. He has garnered a significant following through his podcast and media appearances, particularly as a vocal supporter of Trump.
Bongino’s decision to leave the FBI marks a notable shift in his career, as he was viewed as a surprising choice for the Deputy Director position due to his lack of prior experience with the agency. In his announcement, he stated, “I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.”
