Dan Bongino will step down next month, following his confirmation this week that he planned to leave the FBI deputy director post.He announced the move on social media, thanked Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, and his office has been boxed up according to several people, although others said he was still working at FBI Headquarters this week.Bongino's appointment earlier this year under Patel drew criticism from the
FBI Agents Association after his high profile as a conservative podcaster and past promotion of conspiracy theories, and his departure raises questions about placing partisan media figures in senior law enforcement roles.
