(Adnkronos) – Another senior FBI official is leaving the bureau after just one year in office. According to Nbcnews, Andrew Bailey, who was appointed last September to the newly created position of ‘co-deputy director’ of the FBI to assist Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who then resigned in January to resume his podcasting activity, has resigned.
Sources from the broadcaster report that an internal email specifies that Bailey, who was Attorney General in Missouri and resigned to work at the FBI led by Kash Patel, left for family reasons. When asked for confirmation, the FBI referred to a post in which Bailey announced his resignation, thanking Trump for the opportunity and for the “historic achievements in our mission to make America safe again.” “I am confident that Director Patel will continue to reform the FBI, fight violent crime, and protect the homeland,” the post concludes.
