"The New York Times reported on Wednesday morning that Bongino was clearing out his office ahead of his departure. Hours later, President Donald Trump all but confirmed Bongino's departure, stating, Dan did a great job. I think he wants to go back to his show. Before becoming the FBI's number two, Bongino hosted a podcast. Previously, he was a Fox News host."
"On Wednesday's edition of The Ingraham Angle, the host briefly addressed the personnel move and threw some shade Bongino's way. And the first big departure from the administration was announced late today, Ingraham said. After only nine months on the job, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is stepping aside. Now, this is not surprising. He loved his lucrative media life, and he wants to get back to it."
"Last week, independent journalist Rachel Bade reported that Bongino could be gone any day after Bongino was at odds with administration officials over the Epstein files. In July, the Department of Justice said it would not release its files pertaining to deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Bongino was reportedly so incensed that he skipped work over it."
Dan Bongino will leave his position as FBI Deputy Director in January after serving roughly nine months. The New York Times reported he was clearing out his office before President Trump signaled Bongino likely wanted to return to media. Bongino previously hosted a podcast and worked at Fox News. Laura Ingraham publicly criticized the departure, suggesting Bongino preferred his lucrative media life. Reporting indicated internal friction over the DOJ's refusal to release Jeffrey Epstein files, and Bongino reportedly skipped work in protest. Bongino thanked Trump, AG Bondi, and Director Patel in his departure announcement and offered no future plans.
