Story
FBI Director Wray Resigns Before Inauguration, Trump Nominates Kash Patel
Dec 11, 2024, 07:25 PM
FBI Director Christopher Wray, appointed by President Trump in 2017, announced his intention to resign before Inauguration Day, paving the way for President-elect Donald Trump's nominee, Kash Patel, to lead the bureau. Wray, who is seven years into his ten-year term, informed FBI employees that he would step down in January to avoid an ugly showdown and to keep the focus on the bureau's mission. Trump's public criticisms and his declaration of intent to replace Wray with Patel influenced the director's decision. Patel, a Trump loyalist, is expected to undergo the Senate confirmation process next month.
