Dan Bongino Announces Departure as FBI Deputy Director in January

URGENT UPDATE: Dan Bongino has just announced he will step down as the FBI’s deputy director in January 2024. The news follows a statement from President Donald Trump, who praised Bongino’s tenure, stating he “did a great job” and expressed Bongino’s desire to return to his media career.

Bongino, appointed by Trump in February 2024, previously served as a New York City police officer and a U.S. Secret Service agent. He gained significant attention as a podcast host, building a large following through his media appearances. His unexpected appointment as deputy director raised eyebrows as he lacked prior experience within the FBI, a role typically held by seasoned agency professionals.

In a heartfelt post on social media platform X, Bongino expressed gratitude to Trump, AG Pam Bondi, and Director Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve. 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.”

Bongino’s announcement has sparked discussions about the future leadership of the FBI, particularly given the current political climate. As a staunch ally of Trump, his departure may signal shifts within the agency and its alignment with the incoming administration.

Observers speculate on the implications for the FBI and whether Bongino’s exit will influence ongoing investigations or agency policies. As the situation develops, more details are expected to emerge.
