Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino has been named Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, joining Kash Patel who was confirmed as Director last week.

President Donald Trump made the announcement on Truth Social:

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. Dan has a Masters Degree in Psychology from C.U.N.Y., and an MBA from Penn State. He was a member of the New York Police Department (New York’s Finest!), a highly respected Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, and is now one of the most successful Podcasters in the Country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve. Working with our great new United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, Fairness, Justice, Law and Order will be brought back to America, and quickly. Congratulations Dan!

Conservative media will miss having Bongino’s popular podcast airing every day, but taking Patel’s offer was something he just couldn’t refuse.
