Truly going to miss you, Dan on "Rumble" Looking for Great things from The FBI. God Speed Gentleman! 

Although Bongino is a law enforcement professional, he only served as an officer in the New York Police Department, NYPD, from 1995 to 1999 and later in the Secret Service from 1999 to 2011.

The U.S. leader described the appointment as “great news for law enforcement and American justice” and called the new official “a man of incredible love and passion” for the country.

“Working with our great new United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, Fairness, Justice, Law and Order will be brought back to America, and quickly,” Trump added.

In a post on X, the 50-year-old Bongino expressed gratitude to his superiors: “Thank you, Mr. President, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Patel.”

The host of The Dan Bongino Show, a popular podcast, previously anchored the Fox News show Unfiltered before his exit from the network in April 2023.

While in the Secret Service, the conservative political commentator worked as part of the protection detail for former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Bongino, however, lost three races for political office, a Senate seat in Maryland in 2012, and congressional seats in 2014 and 2016 in Maryland and Florida.
