Dan Bongino’s appointment as FBI Deputy Director signals a major shift in the bureau’s direction, reflecting President Trump’s push to install loyalists and reshape federal law enforcement in line with his agenda. 

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and conservative media personality with no prior FBI experience, is seen as an unconventional pick whose public stances and history of promoting conspiracy theories suggest the bureau could take a more partisan and combative approach under his leadership. 

Recent internal clashes—especially over the handling of the Epstein files—have already sparked significant controversy and uncertainty about Bongino’s future at the FBI, highlighting ongoing tensions about transparency and the bureau’s independence.
