• He described having “given up everything” for the role, including his podcast, and lamented long hours confined to “four walls” in Washington.
• Bongino announced the FBI would reopen investigations into cases spotlighted by right-wing media, such as cocaine found at the Biden White House and leaks at the Supreme Court.
