Washington.— FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced this Wednesday that he will leave his post in January, after President Donald Trump announced his resignation to the press shortly before and indicated that he wants to re-present his radio program.
"I will be leaving my position at the FBI in January. I want to thank President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose," Bongino wrote on his official X account.

In recent times, various American media outlets had reported Bongino's absence from official FBI events. Bongino, ex-police officer and former Secret Service agent who worked in the office of former President Barack Obama, achieved his political appointment in the FBI after a career in the podcast world, where he openly supported Trump during the 2024 campaign. During his tenure, CNN reported that Bongino had differences with Attorney General Bondi because he was in favor of publishing more documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein files. Following these disagreements, Attorney General Patel announced that there would be a second FBI deputy director supporting Bongino, Andrew Bailey, who until then served as Missouri's Attorney General.
