Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has just been sworn in to serve as deputy director of the FBI.
Bongino was President Donald Trump’s choice for the number two position at the federal agency.
He will now serve alongside recently sworn-in FBI Director Kash Patel.
In a post on X, Bongino said:
“It is an honor to serve as Deputy Director for the Federal Bureau of Investigation at such a critical time for our nation.
“The American people deserve a justice system that is transparent, accountable, and committed to the rule of law.”
Bongino included images from his swearing-in ceremony.
One of the photos in the post shows Bongino being sworn in by Patel.
“My promise to you is that I will work tirelessly to help restore integrity, eliminate political bias, and ensure the FBI remains dedicated to its core mission of protecting the United States and upholding the Constitution,” Bongino continued.

Republican Rep. Eli Crane of Arizona shared Bongino’s post and wrote, “The FBI is so back.”
“Welcome,” Patel said to Bongino in a post on X, adding, “Let’s get to work.”
The official @FBI X account noted:
“After his swearing-in ceremony as FBI Deputy Director, Dan Bongino paid his respects at the Wall of Honor, honoring the brave members of the #FBI who made the ultimate sacrifice and reflecting on the legacy of those who paved the way in the pursuit of justice and security.”
The post included an image of Bongino visiting the Wall of Honor.

Bongino stepped away from his successful podcast “The Dan Bongino Show” to serve in the FBI.
In a post on Truth Social last month, when announcing Bongino for the FBI post, Trump wrote:
“He was a member of the New York Police Department (New York’s Finest!), a highly respected Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, and is now one of the most successful Podcasters in the Country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve.”
