In a cryptic X post Saturday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said he has been "shocked to the core" by what he has learned in ongoing investigations – but he doesn't say what that is.

"We cannot run a Republic like this," Bongino insists. "I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned."

The deputy director, a former Secret Service agent and political commentator, vowed to bring the American people "the truth," saying, "We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE."

Bongino reportedly took issue with Attorney General Pam Bondi's "nothing to see here" memo regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case earlier this month, with rumors he nearly resigned his position over the decision.

Commentator Todd Starnes remarked on X, "Seems to me we need the Attorney General and FBI Director [Kash Patel] need to immediately hold a press conference and explain what the deputy director is talking about."
