Dan Bongino has returned to Fox News, this time as a contributor to the cable news network.
Bongino previously worked as a contributor at the network before receiving his own show, Unfiltered with Dan Bongino.
That program later ended in 2023 when the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement on an extension. At the time, Bongino was hosting the Fox News show in addition to his three-hour nationally syndicated radio show and popular podcast.
Some posited that Bongino’s exit was part of a deal between the network and the Dominion Voting Systems company after the $787.5 million settlement over Fox News’ coverage surrounding the 2020 presidential election. Both Dan Bongino and Fox News have continually denied that the settlement had anything to do with his departure.
He made his first appearance on the network on Monday evening during Sean Hannity’s primetime program, discussing the recent disappearance of the mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie, among other topics.
Dan Bongino rejoins Fox News after having spent the past year working as the Deputy Director of the FBI. Upon his departure from the Bureau, he began hosting his podcast again, which relaunched earlier this month. In the first full week of his return, the program served as the top trending podcast on the Spotify charts.
