Trump Announces Commentator Dan Bongino as FBI Deputy Director: ‘Congratulations!’
Conservative commentator and ex-Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has been named deputy director of the FBI, President Trump announced Sunday night.
“Great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice! Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel,” the president posted on Truth Social.
Bongino, 50, is a former NYPD officer and worked as a special agent for the Secret Service before pivoting careers, Trump said.

Bongino currently hosts the popular podcast “The Dan Bongino Show,” which Trump said he would end in order to get back into law enforcement. (Read more from “Trump Announces Commentator Dan Bongino as FBI Deputy Director: ‘Congratulations!’” HERE)
