Dan Bongino to Resign as FBI Deputy Director Amid Media Comeback Buzz
Dan Bongino, a well-known conservative media figure and former Secret Service agent, has announced he will resign as Deputy Director of the FBI in January 2026. Appointed by President Trump earlier this year, Bongino’s tenure in the bureau's No. 2 spot has been brief and controversial, with critics citing his lack of FBI experience and past political rhetoric. Supporters argue he brought needed perspective and public trust. Speculation is swirling that Bongino will return to his popular podcast and media network following the resignation. Trump has publicly hinted that Bongino’s “true strength is in reaching the people.†The announcement has sparked sharp debate over politicization in law enforcement and the line between government service and media influence. Bongino has not confirmed his next move but thanked the public and the bureau in his resignation note.
