“FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino will step down from his post next month, he said on Wednesday, ending a short and at-times tumultuous tenure as the bureau’s second highest-ranking official. Bongino announced the move on social media hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said he thought Bongino wanted to ‘go back to his show.’ He hosted a prominent right-wing podcast prior to joining the FBI. ‘Dan did a great job. I think he wants to go back to his show,’ Trump told reporters.” (12/17/25)
