FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced on Saturday that the bureau will begin releasing information that has previously been kept under tight wraps, including cases many Americans believe were concealed for political or institutional reasons.
Bongino, a former NYPD officer, Secret Service agent, and conservative commentator, took to X to share that his office has already begun cooperating with Congress and the public by providing long-requested information. Among the cases he highlighted were the attempted assassination of Rep. Steve Scalise, the majority whip from Louisiana, the Nashville Christian school shooting, the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, and the origins and cover-up of COVID-19.
Crossfire Hurricane was the name of the investigation into President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia to steal the 2016 election, a narrative that turned out to have been completely fabricated with the assistance of his then-rival, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
“In just the couple of months since we’ve sworn in we’ve responded to requests for information on the attack on Rep. Scalise and members of Congress, the Nashville attack, Crossfire Hurricane, the COVID cover-up and more. We are working with the DOJ on the [Jeffrey] Epstein case and, as the AG [Pam Bondi] stated, there are voluminous amounts of downloaded child sexual abuse material that we are dealing with,” Bongino noted in the lengthy post.
“There are also victim’s statements that are entitled to specific protections. We need to do this correctly, but I do understand the public’s desire to get the information out there,” he wrote.
