FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took to social media to announce a major drug bust in Texas, just one week into his new role. “Our @FBIHouston team is doing unbelievable work… 150 KILOS of narcotics seized ” he wrote on X, praising the agents for making “America safe.”
Meanwhile, former FBI agent Jonathan Buma was detained at JFK Airport after allegedly leaking classified files. The 15-year veteran, known for accusing the Trump administration of bias and suggesting Rudy Giuliani was compromised by Russia, reportedly printed about 130 sensitive documents in 2023 for use in a planned memoir. Prosecutors say the materials included information from human sources and foreign intelligence.
Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, was appointed by President Trump. Shortly after taking office, he visited the FBI’s Wall of Honor, earning praise from supporters and signaling a shift in the bureau’s leadership.
