Reports indicate that FBI Deputy Director Daniel Bongino is preparing to make a major decision about his future within weeks. Sources suggest he has informed multiple FBI field office chiefs that he may be resigning from his position.

Bongino’s leadership has faced recent criticism alongside FBI Director Kash Patel, with reports describing the bureau as directionless under current management. However, both officials have defended their reforms, claiming they have significantly enhanced accountability and public safety.

In a prior interview, Bongino stated that he anticipated backlash from disgruntled former agents who remain loyal to previous leadership approaches. Officials close to the matter indicate Bongino is still weighing his options before finalizing any decision regarding his role at the agency.
