Christopher Wray Resigns as Trump Hopes to Confirm Conspiracy Theorist Kash Patel as Head of FBI

HeadlineDec 12, 2024

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced he will resign at the end of President Biden’s term. Wray was appointed by then-President Trump in 2017, but Trump turned on Wray over the FBI’s investigations into Russian election interference, the January 6 Capitol insurrection and Trump’s mishandling of classified documents. Trump has nominated far-right conspiracy theorist Kash Patel to lead the FBI, who has called for the FBI’s D.C. office to be closed and turned into a “museum of the deep state.”
