There are rumors that Dan Bongino, a former Fox News host, could be President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for head of the US Secret Service (USSS).
Bongino used to work for the USSS and is a harsh critic of the service now that two failed efforts to kill Trump have happened. The possible pick has mostly only been talked about on social media, but Forbes also reported that Trump is attempting to decide between Bongino and Sean Curran.
Bongino has previously written, “Let me be perfectly clear: the [first] assassination attempt on President Trump was a catastrophic failure on behalf of the United States Secret Service.”
Former USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after being grilled by Congress and being told by both parties that she had to leave or be fired after the first attempt on her life and the agency’s gross lack of competence came to light.
“Trump has chosen people for a handful of Senate-confirmed Cabinet-level jobs, and he’s picked a White House chief of staff, a communications director and a national security adviser, among the key roles that don’t require confirmation,” Forbes reported.
