In a stunning turn of events, GOP nominee for the newly vacated New York Congress seat and ex-police officer, Dan Bongino, has expressed his distrust towards the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Bongino, a former Secret Service agent under the Obama administration, made the allegation whilst appearing as a guest on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News. He was prompted to make such a shocking claim in response to reported incidents of suspicious package deliveries, addressed to some of the most high-profile Democratic lawmakers in the country over the past three weeks.
As of now, one explosive device has been located and safely defused; however, the suspect responsible for sending them remains unknown. Reports suggest that intelligence authorities led by the FBI are actively investigating the situation, and embarking on the expansive task of tracking down the individual, or individuals, responsible.
Despite this, Bongino, a vocal critic of President Obama’s law enforcement ideologies, drew shock and gasps from Hannity and his fellow audience members by stating that “time and time again, the bureau undermined good Republicans,” triggering a flurry of debate and ground-swelling criticism.
Amidst this controversy, Bongino’s nomination for the New York seat has itself come under scrutiny, with increasing numbers of Republicans expressing their concerns and voicing their opposition. The situation was aggravated by the Republican National Convention’s chair, Sandra Gonzalez, who expressed her disapproval towards Bongino due to his ideological disagreements with President Trump.
The FBI, however, denies these allegations and has gone on record to assert that their agents regularly “keep their political leanings to the minimum,” permitting them to remain impartial and adhere to the highest standards of professionalism while handling sensitive cases.
Additionally, the FBI has released a statement disputing Bongino’s claims of partisan behaviour, insisting instead that their highest priority is to uphold the law and safeguard the nation from any potential threats.
