FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino vowed on Saturday to uncover the “truth” in a cryptic post on the social platform X, proclaiming that “we cannot run a Republic like this.”

Bongino said that he and FBI Director Kash Patel are committed to “stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations.”

“It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned,” the deputy director wrote. It is unclear what Bongino was referring to. The Hill has reached out to the FBI for additional comment.

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and podcaster, was at the center of the debate over the files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein earlier this month.
