Dan Bongino, President Donald Trump’s choice for deputy director of the FBI, has been sworn in to serve in the federal agency.
“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 said in a Monday post on X.
One of the photos included in the post appears to show Bongino being sworn in by FBI Director Kash 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.”
