White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt accused the media of disrespectful FBI deputy director Dan Bongino of his law enforcement career during a press conference Tuesday.
The media expanded Bongino’s role as a conservative podcaster after President Donald Trump tapped him to serve his new role on Sunday night. During the briefing, Leavitt pointed to Bongino’s long experience as a law enforcement officer and a US Secret Service agent, labeling the media coverage of the new Deputy Director as “despicable.”
“I know if someone in this room listened to Mr. Bongino while talking about his past corruption at the FBI and his experience serving the Secret Service in the US. Not,” Levitt said. “This is a man who loved his country and served our country in a way that many people don’t have. He is the deepest corruption as Americans shake up Trump and shake up. I understand that.”
“And I think it’s very despicable to see a lot of networks in this room had chaons on their TV screens. “He’s not. He’s a former law enforcement agency and he’s been working on this country. He is a former Secret Service agent who placed his life on the line to protect him, and that’s why the US president left this important role to him.” (Related: “Don’t Lie”: Karoline Leavitt sets “Straight” on Musk, Doge and Social Security Waste)
