Dan Bongino made headlines on Tuesday after sharing a photo with newly sworn-in FBI Director Kash Patel. Bongino, appointed Deputy Director of the FBI, captioned the photo with an American flag and heart emoji, sparking speculation about their plans for the bureau.
Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and strong Trump supporter, expressed his focus on his new role and announced he would no longer comment on politics. He explained the transition from political commentator to Deputy Director as one that required different skills.
Trump had previously praised Bongino in a Truth Social post, calling him “a man of incredible love and passion for our Country” and congratulating him on the new position.
