Dan Bongino has been appointed as deputy director of the FBI by President Trump, placing two of Trump's allies at the helm of federal law enforcement. Critics fear political bias as Bongino's background includes involvement in the MAGA movement and spreading misinformation about the 2020 election. While lacking direct FBI experience, Bongino's law enforcement history includes work for the NYPD and the Secret Service. His podcast and commentary on conservative platforms have solidified his standing in right-wing media.
Bongino's previous roles, including serving under multiple presidents and his rise as a conservative pundit, have aided his appointment as deputy director, though some question his lack of FBI experience.
Trump heralded Bongino as a dedicated patriot, elevating concerns among Democrats about potential biases in federal law enforcement against political adversaries.
