  • FBI Director Kash Patel approved waivers exempting Dan Bongino and two other senior staff from required polygraph exams for classified access.

  • Bongino assumed the second-highest FBI role without completing the agency’s standard background check process.

  • Two additional employees who reportedly did not pass polygraphs were also granted high-level security clearances through waivers.

  • A formal internal complaint was filed alleging these waivers violated FBI security policies.
  • Reports of disqualifying alerts on polygraphs by senior FBI officials — which require personal waivers from the highest levels of leadership to remain employed — are deeply alarming.
    — Senator Dick Durbin stated this in a comment to ProPublica regarding the implications of polygraph results for senior FBI officials.
