The former New York City police officer will supervise daily operations and serve under new FBI director Kash Patel.

Summary

Trump has appointed conservative podcaster Dan Bongino as deputy FBI director, despite his lack of FBI experience.

Bongino, a former Secret Service and police officer, is a staunch Trump ally who promotes election fraud claims and attacks political opponents, once saying, “My life is all about owning the libs now.”

His appointment follows the confirmation of FBI Director Kash Patel, another Trump loyalist. Critics worry their leadership could politicize the agency.

Bongino’s role does not require Senate approval, and Trump announced he will step away from his podcast.

      He at least has more experience than his boss. He was Secret Service and a law enforcement officer. Patel is just a nut job conspiracy theorist.

      Dan Bongino is a massive piece of shit, BTW and should be nowhere near this position.
