Political commentator and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino recently targeted Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) during his popular podcast, ahead of Bongino’s appointment as deputy director of the FBI by former President Donald Trump. Bongino criticized Schiff’s role in promoting the Russian interference narrative, specifically the Russia collusion claims.

He accused federal agencies, lawmakers, and intelligence officials of creating a false story that could have seriously damaged international relations, especially with a nuclear-powered adversary like Russia. Bongino made it clear that he would not let the matter go, emphasizing the need to uncover the truth to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Meanwhile, a significant development surrounding Schiff emerged as former President Joe Biden granted him a preemptive pardon for his work on the Democrat-led January 6 Commission. Schiff expressed reservations about the necessity of the pardon, which covers any offenses tied to the committee’s actions, though it remains unclear if it also applies to his role in the Russia investigation. This pardon, along with Bongino’s remarks, raises questions about ongoing political and legal controversies. As Bongino takes his new FBI position, these discussions are likely to continue shaping the national debate on justice, accountability, and government transparency in the coming months.
