Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is reportedly preparing to leave the Bureau in the coming weeks, fueling speculation that he may soon return to the conservative media landscape where he built a powerful national following. According to The New York Times, several individuals familiar with the situation say Bongino is already packing up his office and sending personal items back to Florida\u2014an indication that an official announcement may be imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sources told the Times that Bongino could depart \u201cas soon as this week or as late as mid-January,\u201d though he has not yet publicly confirmed his plans. The former Secret Service agent and best-selling author was appointed to the FBI leadership team earlier this year by President Donald Trump, who tasked him with bringing greater transparency, accountability, and ideological clarity to an agency long accused by conservatives of political bias.<\/p>\n\n\n

Conflicting Signals About Bongino\u2019s Plans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Other reports offer mixed signals. Fox News Digital<\/a>, citing its own sources, noted Monday that Bongino has \u201cnot made a final decision\u201d and disputed claims that his office was already empty. However, Fox\u2019s sources did acknowledge that he is expected to clarify his future \u201cin the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Bongino does leave the Bureau, many expect him to reenter the conservative media sphere in time for the 2026 midterm elections, when Republican strategists anticipate a major national referendum on the direction of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potentially Strategic Timing for His Exit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the Times, Bongino has privately floated the idea of aligning his departure with a major law-enforcement development\u2014specifically a press conference connected to the long-running federal investigation into the pipe bombs planted near the DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident, still unsolved after nearly four years, remains a source of public frustration. Conservatives argue the lack of progress underscores deep institutional failures at the FBI\u2014failures Bongino has long criticized both before and during his time at the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repairing Tensions With Attorney General Pam Bondi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Behind the scenes, Bongino is also said to be smoothing tensions with Attorney General Pam Bondi, whom he sharply criticized earlier this year. In July, Bondi\u2019s office released a memo stating that the much-discussed \u201cEpstein client list\u201d did not exist, contradicting years of speculation amplified in part through Bongino\u2019s own podcast prior to his government service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Times reports that Bongino was so dissatisfied with Bondi\u2019s handling of that matter that he threatened to resign at the time. Since then, he has reportedly worked to repair the relationship\u2014an indication that he may be trying to ensure a clean exit from the Bureau, should he choose to move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broader Political Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bongino\u2019s potential departure comes at a pivotal moment for federal law enforcement. Republicans continue to push for sweeping reforms at the FBI, citing concerns about political motivations behind high-profile investigations dating back to the Russia probe. Bongino, viewed by many grassroots conservatives as a no-nonsense reformer, entered the FBI leadership at a time when trust in federal agencies has been sharply divided along partisan lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A return to broadcasting would position him once again as one of the most influential voices in conservative politics\u2014a role he previously used to energize Republican voters, challenge media narratives, and champion pro-Trump policy priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, the timeline remains unclear. But by all accounts, Bongino\u2019s next move\u2014whether announced this week or early in the new year\u2014will be closely watched<\/p>\n\n\n\n
