FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced the bureau has dismantled a Chinese spy ring recruiting U.S. service members, executing raids in four cities and making two arrests. The operation exposed efforts to steal defense secrets and intimidate Americans, part of 51 foreign agent arrests this year. Bongino vowed greater transparency, citing nearly 5,000 active counterintelligence cases.
His announcement comes amid speculation about his future at the FBI after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Though he briefly considered resigning, Bongino returned to work Monday, with questions about his role still lingering.
