- Donald Trump has appointed at least 24 former Fox News hosts to key positions, including Jeanine Pirro, Pete Hegseth, and Sean Duffy, with Dan Bongino returning to Fox News after a short stint as deputy FBI director, which MS NOW's Steve Benen describes as an "embarrassment".
- Bongino's tenure at the FBI was marked by amateurism, with Benen quoting that "the president thought it might be interesting to put a volatile podcast personality in charge of running the bureau, and the result was a failed experiment", highlighting the "revolving door" between Trump's administration and right-wing media.
- As Benen notes, Bongino is one of the rare individuals who has spun through the revolving door in both directions, going from conservative media to the administration and back to conservative media within 10 months, raising questions about the ethics and implications of this close relationship between Trump's team and right-wing media outlets.
