Patel, Bongino defend tenures, saying FBI 'operating exactly as the country expects'
Fox News
FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino defend sweeping bureau reforms amid criticism from a 115-page internal report by active-duty and retired FBI personnel.
Ashley Carnahan is a writer at Fox News Digital.
"That was never our audience. Our responsibility is to the American people. And under the new leadership team, the Bureau is delivering results this country hasn't seen in decades: tighter accountability, tougher performance standards, billions saved, and a mission-first culture. That's how you restore trust."
New York Post columnist and Fox News contributor Miranda Devine said last week that an internal 115-page report from FBI active-duty and retired agents and analysts heavily criticized both Patel and Bongino since they took on their respective jobs earlier this year.
