MAGA Celebrates Dan Bongino FBI Appointment: 'This. Is. EVERYTHING'
A number of MAGA figures have celebrated the news that conservative podcast host Dan Bongino has been selected by President Donald Trump to serve as the FBI's deputy director.
Newsweek has connected the FBI and Bongino for comment via email.
Bongino is the latest Trump loyalist to be given a top position at the nation's leading federal law enforcement agency after Kash Patel was sworn in as FBI director on Friday. Democrats have long raised concerns that Trump might use the federal government to target political opponents.
Trump announced via Truth Social on Sunday that Bongino has been named the next deputy director of the FBI. The president called the move "great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice."
A number of MAGA figures have praised the move to name Bongino as the next deputy director of the FBI. Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert described the news as "everything."
