Bongino Appointment Shows Trump’s ‘Contempt for the American People’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Trump administration has named right-wing podcaster Dan Bongino as the next deputy director of the FBI, to serve under fellow Trump loyalist Kash Patel.
Reacting to this news, Public Citizen co-president Lisa Gilbert issued the following statement:
“Placing a kooky podcaster like Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI shows not just the lack of seriousness the Trump administration has for law enforcement, but the utter contempt they have for the American people. No one interested in the rule of law and in protecting the people of this country would make a mockery out of the leading law enforcement agency by turning it into a circus whose only real mission appears to be trolling sensible people and meting out vengeance against Trump’s political opponents.”
