FBI co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey resigns
Federal Bureau of Investigation co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey is resigning from the bureau to spend time with his family, he announced in a post on social media.
FBI co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey has announced his resignation to spend more time with his family in Missouri. He was the first person to hold the co-deputy director position, which was sometimes ill-defined. Bailey served under former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino and then under Christopher Raia after Bongino resigned. He expressed pride in the bureau's accomplishments and confidence in Director Kash Patel to continue the FBI's work in combating violent crime and restoring public trust.
President Trump, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and former Director Kash Patel all praised Bailey's service. Bailey's tenure included leading election integrity investigations, including a raid on the Fulton County, Georgia election office, and advocating for Missouri against social media censorship and other issues during his time as Missouri Attorney General.
