Dan Bongino, deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, will vacate his position in January.
Bongino gave no reason for his departure in the Wednesday social media post announcing his decision.
“I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January. I want to thank President Trump, AG [Pam] Bondi, and Director [Kash] Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose,” Bongino posted on X. “Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.”
Bongino’s resignation comes as the FBI continues to hunt for the suspect in the deadly shooting at Brown University.
Additionally, the Department of Justice, which houses the FBI, is set to release all federal records on convicted sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein, who died in prison, and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
