Trump Names Right-Wing Commentator as Deputy FBI Director
US President Donald Trump has appointed right-wing commentator Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI, praising his "incredible love and passion for our Country". The appointment is seen as a surprise move, given Bongino's background in law enforcement and politics. The selection process was reportedly fast-tracked under newly confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel.
- This appointment highlights the blurring of lines between government service and partisan activism, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the erosion of institutional integrity.
- How will Bongino's conservative ideology influence his approach to investigative work at the FBI, particularly in light of Trump's ongoing investigations and controversies?
