Dan Bongino has announced he will step down from his role as Deputy Director at the FBI effective in January. The departure marks the end of his tenure in the senior leadership position within the agency.
In his announcement, Bongino confirmed the timing of his resignation and indicated that he plans to pursue new opportunities following his exit from federal service. He did not specify future plans but conveyed appreciation for his time with the bureau.
Bongino joined the FBI in the leadership ranks after a long career in law enforcement and public commentary. His role as Deputy Director involved overseeing key operational and administrative functions within the agency.
Officials at the FBI acknowledged the announcement and said preparations are underway to ensure an orderly transition within the office. A successor has not yet been publicly named, and the bureau said it will provide updates regarding leadership changes in due course.
Bongino’s departure is expected to draw attention given his high-profile background and previous public presence. As January approaches, agency officials and colleagues will work through the transition to maintain continuity in ongoing initiatives.
