Bongino said on X that Saturday was his last day on the job before he would return to "civilian life."
"Dan did a great job. I think he wants to go back to his show," Trump told reporters.
Bongino spoke publicly about the personal toll of the job during a May appearance on "Fox & Friends," saying he had sacrificed a lot to take the role.
"I stare at these four walls all day in D.C., by myself, divorced from my wife - not divorced, but I mean separated - and it's hard. I mean, we love each other, and it's hard to be apart," he added.
