US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Dan Bongino will serve as the deputy director of the FBI, working under newly appointed Director Kash Patel. The announcement was made via Trump’s Truth Social platform, where he praised Bongino’s dedication and patriotism.
Bongino, a former NYPD officer and US Secret Service agent, is also known for hosting a popular podcast, which Trump noted he is prepared to give up to take on his new role. Trump expressed confidence that Bongino, Patel, and newly appointed US Attorney General Pam Bondi will restore fairness, justice, and law and order in the country.
