On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced the selection of the conservative commentator and former host of Fox News Dan Bonjino to work as deputy director of the FBI, and fill out a position that the FBI Under -Secretary of the FBI with an influential media figure called for mass shooting in the office.
Bongino will lead the office alongside Cash Patel, who was frankly confirmed as Director of the FBI by the Senate last week.
“Dan Bongino, an incredible love man and the passion of our country Social media yet. “Working with the Public Prosecutor in the Great United States, Bam Bondi, and Director Pattel, justice, justice, law and order will be restored to America, and quickly.”
Position The Senate’s confirmation does not require.
Bongino is a former secret service agent and a NYPD officer who has installed many unsuccessful bids for Congress before burning his focus on the media comments with the launch of his website in 2019, podcast and radio program, and once filling an opening by Rush Limbagh.
Bongino has never worked in the FBI, as it broke a long tradition from the role of the director occupied by a professional agent of the office.
In his role as a leading pioneer in PodCaster, Bongino has developed baseless theories from the FBI, including the claim earlier this year that the office lied when he announced that he had not specified a suspect in placing pipe bombs outside the Republican Committee and the National Committee Democracy a day before the Capitol riot on January 6.
In January, the FBI released a new video clip of an individual who puts one of the bombs near DNC as part of the renewed efforts of the office to track down a suspect.
“If the video is sitting in the FBI’s guidance treasury for four years so far, it is almost similar to someone in the FBI identity and that Trump will be discovered,” Bongino said in recently. Podcast episode. He called on the office’s inability to provide another name or definition information to the suspect, “the largest scandal of our time.”
Bongino was among the two loyalists who performed the conspiracies regarding research in 2022 of Trump’s property, Mar Lago on classified documents, indicating that the research was an attempt by the administration of President Joe Biden to assassinate the president of the institution at the time.
“All participants in the Ministry of Justice/FBI must be terminated from the administration to agents, immediately when the tyrants are expelled from his position,” Bongino said on social media. mail at that time.
Bongino will be one of the almost former Fox News employees in the Trump administration, a list that includes Defense Minister Beit Higseth, Minister of Transport Sean Duffy, and National Intelligence Director Toulcy Gabbard. Trump is similarly employing his first administration with many network employees.
Two current FBI officials interested in choosing Bongino to NBC News indicated that the FBI deputy director usually runs office operations and supervises private agents who are leading the 55 field offices throughout the country.
Before announcing the appointment of Trump to the appointment of Bongino, NBC News obtained a memorandum from the FBI association, which seemed to indicate that the governor PodCaster was not eligible to fill his new position. Without naming any specific person, the memo pushed the director who was part of the office.
“The FBI deputy director should continue to be an active special agent on board-as was the case for 117 years for several convincing reasons, including operational experience and experience, as well as our own agent’s confidence,“ a partial reading statement.
Former Ministry of Justice officials, including the Prosecutor William Bar, who served in Trump’s first administration, also expressed their concerns about Patel’s lack of experience in the office.
Patel and Bongino leadership of the Federal Investigation Office will come in a large period of rotation. The head of the Washington Field Office – who supervised the sprawling investigation on January 6 – was forced to leave, as well as six senior executives of the FBI and heads of many field offices of the Federal Investigation Office throughout the country.
Democrats accused Patel of organizing the launch of professional civil service employees secretly in the office. in Social media publication In the wake of the detailed claim in a letter submitted by Senator Dick Dorbin, DL, to the Inspector of the Ministry of Justice, Patel, spokeswoman for Patel, did not take Dorbin’s speech directly but criticized what she described as a “false narration”
She wrote: “Cash Patel, a qualified qualified expert in the field of national security, was completely transparent with the American people throughout this process and showed the integrity and leadership necessary for this role.” “The Senate must confirm it without delay.”
Trump said this month that he intends to “launch some” FBI employees who have worked in anti -Capitol anti -Capitol issues, amid fears that collective workers in the office are demobilized as part of Elon Musk’s efforts to compete with the government to reduce the size of the federal workforce significantly.
