Rumors suggest Dan Bongino, a former Fox News host and ex-Secret Service agent, could be President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the US Secret Service (USSS). Bongino, vocal critic of the agency, has blamed it for failing to prevent two assassination attempts on Trump. Trump is reportedly deciding between Bongino and Sean Curran for the role.Former USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following bipartisan criticism after the first assassination attempt.

Meanwhile, Trump is finalizing his team for a second term, consulting allies, billionaire backers, and the America First Policy Institute for staffing and policy decisions.Bongino recently accused Republicans like Kellyanne Conway of sabotaging Trump’s campaign and his running mate, JD Vance, due to disagreements over Ukraine policy. He claimed internal leaks were undermining the campaign and called for unity, warning those involved to stop their interference. Bongino defended the Trump-Vance ticket as strong and urged focus on defeating Democrats.
