Dan Bongino drops major truth bomb in FBI's Trump assassination attempt investigation
The two MAGA loyalists now running the FBI admit now that they've seen the proof they do not think the first assassination attempt on President Donald Trump was part of a foreign plot.
Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino dropped the bombshell revelation this weekend that there is just no proof that would prove the conspiracy true.
Fox News host Maria Bartiromo pushed Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel in their joint interview on Sunday on why Americans don't have more information about the assassination attempts against Trump.
Patel didn't want to comment on active investigations, but previewed that he and his deputy have learned a lot since getting into office earlier this year – including viewing all evidence and being briefed by officials on the attacks.
Bongino gave a more direct answer, claiming that there wasn't much to divulge.
'Are we going to be surprised at what you learned?' the Sunday Morning Futures moderator asked.
Bongino said: 'I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear. I'm going to tell you the truth. And whether you like it or not is up to you.'
He admitted that there was no 'there' there and said he and Patel were not given any 'logical, sensible reason' to believe that there was a larger plot at play in either of the two assassination attempts last year. …

…'I know people – I get it. I understand. It's not there. If it was there, we would have told you,' the conservative media personality-turned-FBI official promised.
Bongino said that he and Patel have been 'personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget, tendril of this case' and said there was no proof of any foreign terrorism involvement.
After Tomas Matthew Crooks, 20, killed two and shot Trump in the ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, conspiracy theories immediately emerged over the conditions of the attempted assassination.
Online theories swirled that Crooks was part of a large foreign-influenced plot to take out the Republican before the 2024 presidential election, which he went on to win.
But now Bongino says there is no evidence that Crooks was working with outside entities to kill the former – and then future – president.
'A lot of that information will come out in the federal court cases,' Patel divulged.
'But we have personally invested our time in making sure that we have looked at all the – any possible international connections to terrorism and adversaries alike,' he insisted.
Crooks was killed by counter snipers who took him out before he was able to reap more damage at the Trump rally.
But the second attempted assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, 59, is still going through court proceedings and facing an investigation into his actions just two months after Trump was shot.
Routh was arrested after he allegedly fled the scene at Trump's Palm Beach golf course in September.
A Secret Service agent opened fire when a rifle barrel was spotted poking through the shrubs just a few hundreds yards away from Trump on September 15, 2024.
It doesn't appear that Routh was connected to any foreign entities or plots, according to Bongino and Patel. But they were less inclined to comment on that open probe considering Routh is still alive and being investigated.
FBI agents are coming to YOUR neighborhood as Kash Patel announces radical overhaul
More than 10 percent of FBI agents stationed in the area surrounding the nation's Capital are facing relocation to other American cities.
FBI Director Kash Patel said that moving 1,500 agents out of Washington, D.C. and its immediate suburbs will motivate more people to want to join his agency's ranks.
He also said that the concentration of one-third of agents in the area has led to the increase in failure and decrease in trust.
'The FBI is 38,000 when we're fully manned, which we're not,' Patel told Fox News Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo. 'In the National Capital region, in the 50-mile radius around Washington, D.C., there were 11,000 FBI employees – that's like a third of the workforce.'
'A third of the crime doesn't happen here,' the FBI director lamented. 'So we're taking 1,500 of those folks and moving them out.'
It's not clear where Patel is sending the workforce who are moving outside the District, but he alluded that they will be heading to cities where violent crime is prevalent – likely mostly Democrat enclaves.
He insisted that there is not a politically motivated action, but that his agents will be distributed in areas where they are needed most. …
