Dan Bongino Warns Obama After DOJ Comments Spark Firestorm

Obama’s remarks came amid growing controversy surrounding the Justice Department’s recent indictments and investigations involving several longtime Trump critics, including former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and former National Security Adviser John Bolton.

But Bongino responded forcefully during a public appearance this week, suggesting Obama himself could face scrutiny over actions tied to the Russia investigation and broader allegations of political weaponization during the 2016 transition period.

“What was with the tweet — the shock to my core? Well, in case you missed it, some of you may have, I’m gonna tell ya,” Bongino said. “Because what Barack Obama said the other day — was it Colbert’s show? No. No, no. We’re not doing that. You know, I know things too, Mr. President.”

“And I’m not letting you get away with this. No chance,” he added.

Bongino did not specify what information he was referencing, but his comments immediately fueled speculation among Trump allies that additional investigations tied to the origins of the Trump-Russia probe could be forthcoming.

The remarks came just hours after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly rejected Obama’s accusations that the Justice Department is being politicized under Trump.

In an interview with CBS News, Blanche described Democratic criticism of the administration’s prosecutions as “extraordinarily rich,” arguing that Trump himself faced years of investigations and criminal prosecutions under the Biden administration.

“We are absolutely doing nothing but what we should be doing at the Department of Justice,” Blanche said.
