Dan Bongino is an American conservative commentator, former NYPD officer and U.S. Secret Service agent, who later became a high-profile media host on Fox News, Rumble, and radio after unsuccessful Republican bids for Senate and Congress. In February 2025, he was appointed by President Trump as the 20th Deputy Director of the FBI—marking a break from tradition by placing a non‑career agent in a senior enforcement role.
