FBI Director Wray to Resign Ahead of Trump's Inauguration

FBI Director Chris Wray announced his resignation effective at the end of the Biden administration, citing a desire to maintain the agency's focus and avoid political entanglement. Wray, who took over after James Comey's dismissal, has faced challenges similar to his predecessor, including overseeing investigations into former President Trump. President-elect Trump plans to nominate Kash Patel, a loyalist, as Wray's successor. Wray's tenure included leading the FBI's largest investigation following the January 6 Capitol attack.
