Trump on Bongino leaving FBI: 'I think he wants to go back to his show'

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino said Wednesday he will step down from his role at the bureau in January, departing less than a year after he took the job.

Bongino announced the news in a post on the social platform X, where he thanked President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel “for the opportunity to serve with purpose.”

“Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you,” Bongino wrote.

Trump earlier Wednesday indicated Bongino was interested in returning to his role as a conservative commentator.

He “served with purpose.” Movie trivia time. Who in a comedy movie had a “Special Purpose?”
