#DanBongino, podcaster, will be #FBI deputy director, #Trump said.
#Bongino, 50, who has worked for the #NYPD & the #SecretService, is a staunch Trump ally who has pushed lies about the 2020 election & other stories.
His appointment, which does NOT require Senate confirmation, means neither of the top two people running the agency has FBI experience.

The #FBI deputy director, who is responsible for supervising all domestic & international operations, is usually a career agent with years of experience.
#Bongino hosts daily podcast The #DanBongino Show whose FB posts often attract more *attention* than those of FauxNews & CNN combined.
In Friday's episode, there was a segment about the #FBI, in which he praised #KashPatel….
…"How amazing would it be in four years to look back with a good, high-quality, reformed FBI free of woke culture & DEI that goes out making headline, big arrests of real bad guys destroying your community. How good would that be?" he said.
#Bongino, who has run for Congress 3X [& lost], hosted #Trump on his podcast ahead of last year's election.
…#Bongino has repeated #Trump's lie that he won the 2020 election & advanced another #conspiracy that Joe Biden's admin was behind the #FBI search for #ClassifiedDocuments at Trump's Florida home.
"EVERYONE involved in this DOJ/FBI abomination, from the management down to the agents, must be immediately terminated when the tyrants are thrown out of office," he said on X.
[and now this idiot is the FBI dpty dir]
