FBI Director Kash Patel has just issued a statement after choosing Don Bongino as Deputy FBI Director.
Tremendous news for law enforcement and the future of American justice! I am proud to welcome Dan Bongino as the next Deputy Director of the FBI—a warrior and lifelong public servant.
Dan has dedicated his career to protecting this country, beginning with his time in the NYPD, where he served in one of the toughest precincts, the 75th, before spending more than a decade as a Special Agent in the United States Secret Service.
His leadership, integrity, and deep commitment to justice make him the ideal choice to help lead the FBI at this critical time. He’s a cops cop.
With Pam Bondi as our new Attorney General, we are assembling a team focused on restoring public trust, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring justice is served.
Dan is stepping away from an incredibly successful career because he believes in this mission—together, we are ready to put the mission first.
Welcome aboard, Dan. The country needs strong leadership, and I know you will serve with honor and dedication.
This is an exciting new era in federal law enforcement and we are excited to see the results!
