American President Donald Trump has announced the appointment of podcaster and former law enforcement officer Daniel Bongino as the deputy director of the FBI.
Trump in a statement made on social media on Sunday described Bongino as "a man of incredible love and passion for our Country" and would serve under newly confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel.
Bongino, who hosts a daily podcast called ‘The Dan Bongino show’, has worked previously for the New York Police Department and the Secret service.
In a social media post, Bongino quoted the President’s release expressing his thanks to him, “Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel”.
Bongino, a staunch Trump supporter and ally who had run for Congress three times, hosted the President on his podcast in the run up to America’s November 2024 election.
The role of a deputy director in the FBI which oversees all international and domestic operations is usually reserved for a career agent who has gained years of experience within the bureau.
His appointment, which does not require senate approval according to the American constitution, means that neither of the two people running the agency have had previous FBI work experience.
This news comes after Kash Patel, another Trump’s close associate was controversially appointed to head the agency despite opposition from democrats and republican senators.
