Christopher Wray said he plans to resign at the end of President Joe Biden's term, after president-elect Donald Trump said he would nominate loyalist Kash Patel for the job.
told the bureau workforce Wednesday that 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-electWray said at a town hall meeting that he would be stepping down “after weeks of careful thought,” three years short of the completion of a 10-year term marked by high-profile and politically charged investigations, including that led to two separate indictments of Trump last year.
Trump called Wray’s resignation “a great day for America” in a post on his Truth Social account Wednesday, adding it “will end the weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice.”By stepping down rather than waiting to be fired, Wray is trying to avert a collision with the new Trump administration that he said would have further entangled the FBI “deeper into the fray.
Trump had telegraphed his anger with Wray on multiple occasions. Trump said in his recent interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “I can’t say I’m thrilled with him. He invaded my home,” a reference to the FBI search of his Florida property, Mar-a-Lago, two years ago for classified documents from Trump’s first term as president.
