Dan Bongino Accepts Role as FBI Deputy Director, Pledges to Restore Public Trust

Stuart, FL, February 24, 2025 — Dan Bongino has formally accepted his appointment as Deputy Director of the FBI, expressing his commitment to restoring trust, professionalism, and integrity within the agency.

Bongino, a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent, thanked President Donald J. Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel for their trust in his leadership. He emphasized that his decision to take the role is not about politics but about accountability and leadership.

“I’ve spent my life in public service, beginning with the NYPD and continuing through my time as a Secret Service agent, working under both Republican and Democrat administrations,” Bongino said in a statement. “There are dedicated people in the FBI who take their oath to the Constitution seriously. They deserve leadership that will back them up, protect their mission, and ensure they can do their jobs.”

Bongino will work alongside Bondi and Patel to implement President Trump’s agenda and ensure that the FBI remains an institution Americans can rely on for national security and law enforcement.

Fox & Friends' On-Air Mix-Up Sparks Laughter

Bongino’s appointment made headlines across major networks, including Fox & Friends, where host Brian Kilmeade mistakenly referred to him as ‘Diane Bongino’ during a live segment. The slip-up prompted laughter from co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones, with Jones joking, “Hey, maybe Diane’s tougher than Dan!” Earhardt quipped, “Breaking news: Diane Bongino is cleaning house at the FBI!” before Kilmeade quickly corrected himself.

Despite the lighthearted moment, Bongino’s appointment signals a serious shift in the leadership of the FBI, reinforcing President Trump’s commitment to reforming federal law enforcement and eliminating political bias within the agency.
