Hi there,

We need independent media more than ever. When we cover war and peace, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers. When we cover the climate catastrophe, we’re not brought to you by the oil, gas and coal companies. When we cover inequality, we’re not brought to you by the banks and other financial institutions. We’re brought to you by you, the listener, the reader and the viewer. If you want Democracy Now! to keep bringing you the stories that matter most, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Dan Bongino Announces Resignation as FBI’s Second-in-Command

HeadlineDec 18, 2025

The FBI’s Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced he’s resigning from the bureau next month. Bongino had clashed with the Justice Department over its handling of the Epstein files. Bongino, a podcast host, was picked by President Trump to serve as second-in-command at the FBI despite having no ties to the agency. The FBI Agents Association, which represents around 14,000 current and former agents, had opposed Bongino’s appointment to the position.
