White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Trump's nomination of Dan Bongino for deputy director of the FBI, expressing outrage at media characterizations of Bongino as a far-right commentator. During a briefing, Leavitt praised Bongino's service in law enforcement and argued that he is an outsider dedicated to addressing corruption within federal agencies. She criticized media outlets for their portrayal of Bongino, emphasizing that he is a committed public servant who is trusted by the President to enact change.
I think it's quite despicable to see many networks in this room who have had chyrons on their television screens labeling Mr. Bongino as a far-right podcaster. He is not.
He understands the depth of the corruption at these institutions, which the American people reelected President Trump to shake up.
This is a man who loves his country, and who has honorably served our country in ways that many people have not.
