Is Dan Bongino on Thin Ice at FBI?

Missouri AG Named Co-Deputy Director of FBI, Will Serve Alongside Bongino

Trump officials seem to be making moves to ready FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino for the exits

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey will join the FBI as co-deputy director, serving alongside Deputy Director Dan Bongino, according to the Missouri AG’s office.

Bailey announced he is resigning his state post to accept a federal position, effective upon transition formalities.

Attorney General Pam Bondi called Bailey “a distinguished state attorney general and a decorated war veteran,” saying his leadership will help advance the administration’s law-and-order agenda.

FBI Director Kash Patel said Bailey will be “an integral part” of the bureau’s mission under the Department of Justice.

Bongino has reportedly been on thin ice at the agency since he clashed with Bondi earlier this year about the Justice Department’s handling of the files related to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During a heated exchange in July, Bondi reportedly accused Bongino of leaking stories to the media suggesting that the FBI wasn’t pleased with the case’s closure. Bongino then reportedly threatened to quit and said that it was either him or her.
