Here's some breaking news: FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is leaving his post at the FBI in January. Bongino made the announcement himself on X:
I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January.
— Dan Bongino (@FBIDDBongino) December 17, 2025
I want to thank President Trump, AG Bondi, and Director Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose.
Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you.
God bless America, and…
"… all those who defend Her. 🇺🇸"
President Donald Trump was asked about the news and said that Bongino had done a great job.

I’m looking forward to watching your show.
Thanks Dan, look forward to hearing you again!

We need you there.

True. But if he's leaving, let's hope we can find the person most like him to replace him.
Thank you Dan for taking the time and putting in the energy, determination and grit you had to muster to enter that pit of vipers.

God bless you Dan and thank you for your service. Now let's get you back on the air because I've missed your show!

Congrats! You served well and you’re getting out before DC destroys you. More need to prioritize that lesson. Proud of you. ❤️

Thank you for everything you’ve done, Dan. Not going to lie though… this is super disappointing. If there was anyone I knew for 100% I could trust at the FBI, it was you.

It will be good to have Bongino back on the air. As someone said above, congratulations for surviving the snake pit … the FBI still needs to be fumigated.
