Trump supporters ascend to lead the FBI

Dan Bongino has been appointed as the new deputy director of the FBI, joining Kash Patel, a former Trump aide, in leading the agency. This marks a significant shift in leadership, with both being strong Trump supporters. Bongino, known for his conservative podcast, has promised to avoid political bias in his new role. His lack of experience within the FBI contrasts sharply with previous deputy directors, who typically had decades of service. Patel has already begun restructuring the agency, moving away from traditional practices. His leadership style and decisions have raised concerns about the future direction of the FBI.
