NBC News momentarily handed Elon Musk the presidency — albeit unintentionally — by claiming that he named Dan Bongino as the FBI’s Deputy Director.

The far-right podcaster has condemned the FBI as “irredeemably corrupt." No wonder so many former and current agents are upset about Dan Bongino's ascension.

The No. 2 job at the F.B.I. will give the provocateur Dan Bongino access to sensitive intelligence, as well as speculation and false accusations that agents receive.

Dan Bongino, the conservative podcaster named deputy director of the FBI, has spent the past seven years publicly criticizing the agency he will now help run.

NBC News’ Garret Haake, Fmr. RNC Chairman Michael Steele, Washington Post Senior National Political Correspondent Ashley Parker, New York Times White House Correspondent Tyler Pager, and Fmr. Assistant Manhattan DA Catherine Christian join Katy Tur to discuss.

Dan Bongino is the newly appointed FBI deputy director. The popular conservative podcast host will give up his show for the role.
