FBI director says he intends to resign at end of Joe Biden’s term in January
Mr Wray’s intended resignation is not unexpected considering that Donald Trump had picked Kash Patel for the role in his new administration.
FBI director Christopher Wray has said he plans to resign at the end of President Joe Biden’s term in January, an announcement that came a week and a half after President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate loyalist Kash Patel for the job.
At a town hall meeting with the bureau workforce, Mr Wray said he would be stepping down “after weeks of careful thought”.
Mr Wray’s intended resignation is not unexpected considering that Mr Trump had picked Mr Patel for the role in his new administration.
Mr Trump had demonstrated his anger with Mr Wray on multiple occasions, including after Mr Wray’s congressional testimony in September.
