Dan Bongino

Dan Bongino unsuccessfully ran for Congress as a Republican multiple times after leaving his job in the Secret Service during the Obama administration. He then became a pro-Trump right-wing pundit, hosting a show on NRATV, and frequently appeared on Fox News shows such as Hannity and Fox & Friends. Bongino had his own shows on Fox News and Fox Nation before he and the network parted ways in April 2023. In February 2025, Donald Trump appointed Bongino to the deputy director role at the FBI.
