I mean you know my\u2026my wife is struggling. I\u2019m not a victim. I\u2019m not Jim Comey. It\u2019s fine,\u201d Bongino said. \u201cI did this and I\u2019m proud I did it. But if you think we\u2019re there for tea and crumpets\u2026Well, I mean, Kash is there all day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur offices are linked. He turns on the faucet, I hear it. He gets there at like six o\u2019clock in the morning. He doesn\u2019t leave till seven at night. You know, I\u2019m in there at 7:30 in the morning,\u201d Bongino continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe uses the gym, I work out in my apartment, but I stare at these four walls all day in DC, you know, by myself divorced from my wife \u2013 not divorced, but I mean separated-divorced, and it\u2019s hard,\u201d Bongino continued. \u201cI mean, you know, we love each other and it\u2019s hard to be apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bongino\u2019s departure follows reported internal conflict with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigative files.<\/p>\n<p>MS NOW reported that Bongino had been telling associates he planned to leave early next year and had begun clearing out his office, USA Today reported.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump confirmed Bongino\u2019s impending departure before Bongino publicly addressed it on social media. In a post on X, Bongino thanked Trump, Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel for what he called the opportunity to serve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you,\u201d Bongino wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Trump praised Bongino when asked about him by reporters earlier this week. \u201cDan did a great job,\u201d Trump said, adding that Bongino wanted to return to his show.<\/p>\n<p>Bongino is a former Secret Service agent, New York City police officer, and host of The Dan Bongino Show.<\/p>\n<p>His podcast and media career made him a prominent figure among supporters of Trump\u2019s Make America Great Again movement.<\/p>\n<p>Since March, Bongino has helped oversee a major shakeup of federal law enforcement under Trump appointees who have been critical of the FBI and Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>After Trump appointed Kash Patel as FBI director and Bongino as his deputy, the bureau removed several top officials.<\/p>\n<p>Those officials included a former acting FBI director and other senior leaders accused by the administration of being overly politicized.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the removed officials later filed a federal lawsuit alleging they were unlawfully terminated.<\/p>\n<p>Bongino\u2019s prior service in the Secret Service\u2019s Presidential Protective Division and as a police officer helped elevate him to prominence in conservative media.<\/p>\n<p>Before joining the FBI, Bongino frequently criticized the bureau and the Justice Department over their handling of the Epstein case.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested the existence of a cover-up to protect powerful figures and questioned whether Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n<p>After assuming his FBI role, Bongino said he reviewed agency files and concluded that Epstein died by suicide and did not maintain a client list.<\/p>\n<p>In July, the FBI and Justice Department announced they would not release additional Epstein files following what they described as an exhaustive review. That decision further angered some of Bongino\u2019s former supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Media reports later said Bongino clashed with Bondi over the decision and considered resigning. MAGA influencer Laura Loomer claimed on X that Bongino and Patel were furious over the Justice Department\u2019s handling of the matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share Outgoing FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino provided some insider details into his decision to leave the Trump administration and his post during a Friday morning appearance on \u201cFox &amp; &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28189,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28191"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28192,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28191\/revisions\/28192"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
