The role of deputy director does not require Senate confirmation, meaning two steadfast Trump loyalists will effectively be installed at the uppermost reaches of an agency known for its tradition of independence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The announcement came about an hour after the F.B.I. Agents Association told its members that Mr. Patel had privately acknowledged that the next deputy director should be an F.B.I. agent, intensifying mistrust among the rank-and-file.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The F.B.I. did not respond to a request for a comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the past, F.B.I. directors have selected senior agents with extensive experience to essentially run the bureau\u2019s operations, a complex and grueling job that requires working closely with foreign partners and navigating sensitive investigations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The choice of Mr. Bongino is a radical and abrupt departure from that practice and raises startling questions about how two people who have never served as F.B.I. agents will oversee the vast surveillance and investigative powers of an agency of 38,000 people and a budget of about $11 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The combination of Mr. Patel and Mr. Bongino will represent the least experienced leadership pair in the history of a bureau typically insulated from White House interference. It will also ensure that the bureau will be run by men who have freely peddled misinformation and embraced partisan politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMy entire life right now is about owning the libs,\u201d Mr. Bongino <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/nratv-dan-bongino-my-life-is-all-about-owning-the-libs-now_n_5bb78317e4b0876eda9dc907\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in 2018<\/a>. He has also echoed a popular grievance among the far right denouncing the so-called deep state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bongino\u2019s ascension comes at a time of enormous upheaval at the agency as the Justice Department has pushed out some senior executives who, collectively, have decades of experience running the different divisions of the bureau.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is unclear what will happen to the interim leaders, Brian Driscoll and Robert C. Kissane, who served as the acting director and acting deputy director until Mr. Patel\u2019s confirmation. Their initial refusal to accede to the Justice Department\u2019s demand for the names of bureau personnel who investigated the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, made them well liked internally, willing, in the view of many inside the bureau, to stand up to what was perceived as political interference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many had hoped the two would remain in Washington to help Mr. Patel run the F.B.I.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In an internal newsletter distributed to agents before Mr. Trump\u2019s announcement, the head of the association, Natalie Bara, said that in a meeting in January with Mr. Patel, she and the group\u2019s vice president, Jen Morrow, urged that his lieutenant \u201cbe an onboard, active special agent, as has been the case for 117 years for many compelling reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Patel, she said, agreed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Patel had wanted Mr. Bongino as his deputy, a person familiar with the matter said, though it remained unclear whether Mr. Trump had also pushed for Mr. Bongino\u2019s selection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bongino ran for elected office three times before gaining popularity as a right-wing commentator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A former Fox News host, Mr. Bongino left the network in 2023. Notably, he hosted Mr. Trump on his show in 2021, at a time when the network \u2014 and much of Rupert Murdoch\u2019s media empire \u2014 was trying to turn the page on the Trump era.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Fox News in December 2021, Geraldo Rivera called the events of Jan. 6 a riot \u201cunleashed, incited and inspired\u201d by Mr. Trump, leading Mr. Bongino to question his fealty. \u201cThe back-stabbing of the president you\u2019re engaging in is really disgusting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His tough-talking style catapulted him to stardom on radio and on social media, where he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/10\/29\/technology\/dan-bongino-has-no-idea-why-facebook-loves-him.html\" title=\"\">often peddles rampant misinformation<\/a>.
