The reasons for the moves were not immediately clear, though they come as the FBI under Director Kash Patel has been undertaking broad personnel changes and as Deputy Director Dan Bongino has repeatedly sought to reassure supporters of President Donald Trump who are critical of the bureau that their complaints are being taken seriously.

“The Director and I are working on a number of significant initiatives to ensure that the mistakes of the past are never repeated, and that many of your open questions are answered,” Bongino wrote in one recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter. He did not specify what mistakes or questions he was referring to.

The reassignments, first reported by CNN, were confirmed to The Associated Press by two people familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity to discuss non-public personnel moves. An FBI spokesman declined to comment.

As an Indian in India, I can't wait to see this dickhead brown leopard get his face eaten by racist white leopards.

A man of colour whitewashing a protest over racism and police violence against people of colour... Shameful.

But he’s from a high-class Indian family. As far as he and his family are concerned, that makes them ‘white’.

Seriously, Indian classism is even nastier than US racism.
