FBI Director Wray Resigns Before Trump's Inauguration, Citing Political Purge Concerns
Dec 12, 2024, 07:27 PM
FBI Director Christopher Wray has announced his intention to resign at the end of President Joe Biden's term in January, ahead of the incoming Trump administration. This decision comes after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Kash Patel, a loyalist, to replace Wray. Wray's resignation is seen as an attempt to avoid further politicizing the FBI, as he believes stepping down would prevent the bureau from being dragged deeper into political conflicts. His tenure, marked by high-profile investigations including those involving Trump, has been contentious. Critics, including Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, have accused the FBI under Wray's leadership of lacking transparency and engaging in political policing. The move has sparked debate, with some seeing it as an abandonment of the FBI, potentially exposing it to a 'political purge' under Trump's administration.
