Are Kash Patel and Dan Bongino preparing to leave the FBI? Conflicting reports explored as Andrew Bailey's name is floated as a replacement
Salon published an article claiming that Kash Patel and Dan Bongino might leave the FBI, as reportedly told by staffers in the agency.
Bongino, who was sworn in earlier this year, was pressed by Fox News host Sean Hannity about his past claim that the FBI was complicit in planting pipe bombs near the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee ahead of the Capitol riots of Jan. 6, 2021. Bongino responded by admitting something shocking.
