Dan Bongino, a former U.S. Secret Service agent and right-wing podcaster, has been appointed as the FBI deputy director by President Trump, who highlighted Bongino's commitment to the country. Despite Bongino's previous political career and shift to conservatism, concerns arise regarding his lack of experience within the FBI, traditionally held by seasoned agents. Bongino's appointment reflects a trend of outsiders joining Trump's inner circle. Additionally, he has agreed to leave his podcast to serve in this new role, furthering his political journey.
Trump's decision to appoint Bongino, despite his lack of experience within the FBI, has raised concerns about Bongino's experience dealing with national security threats.
Bongino previously served under Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, before he shifted his views and became a popular Republican figure.
Trump, 78, gushed about Bongino's commitment to his country on his Truth Social Platform, praising him as "a man of incredible love and passion for our Country."
He noted that Bongino is "willing and prepared" to give up his conservative podcast, "The Dan Bongino Show," "in order to serve."
