Ba-da-bing! Ba-da-BONGINO! On Sunday night, President Donald Trump announced that he is appointing former Fox News host and Conservative podcaster Dan Bongino as the next deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
“Great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice,” Trump wrote in a now viral Truth Social post. “Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel.”
He also noted Bongino’s achievements of a Master’s Degree in Psychology from the City University of New York and an MBA from Penn State.
“He was a member of the New York Police Department (New York’s Finest!), a highly respected Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, and is now one of the most successful Podcasters in the Country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve,” Trump continued. “Working with our great new United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, Fairness, Justice, Law and Order will be brought back to America, and quickly. Congratulations Dan!”
“Another aspect of the life of Dan Bongino that I think is very important. He has a great wife, Paula, and two wonderful daughters who truly love their dad,” Trump  wrote in another post. “What an incredible job Dan will do!!!”
