CNN reports:
Donald Trump is considering a right-wing media personality, people who have served on his US Secret Service detail, as well as others to run the agency that has been plagued by its failure to preempt two alleged assassination attempts on Trump this summer, sources familiar with the president-elect’s thinking tell CNN.
Podcaster Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent who was highly critical of the agency’s leadership as security failures around the alleged attempts on Trump’s life became clear, as well as Sean Curran, the head of Trump’s current detail, are among those being considered for the job.
Read the full article. In 2022, Bongino, a former Fox News host, was banned by YouTube for spreading COVID disinformation. That same year he told Fox viewers that the FBI “uses the American flag as toilet paper.” Bongino had claimed that he would run for president in 2024 if Trump did not.
