FBI Director Wray Resigns, Paving Way for Trump Nominee Kash Patel: FBI chief Christopher Wray has decided to demonstrate his unwillingness to work with the new President Joe Biden after the end of his term in January, allowing Kash Patel, the nominee of the current President-elect Donald Trump, to head the bureau. Wray, who has been in his position since 2017 following a Trump appointment, stressed he remains dedicated to the agency.
Speaking to the staff of the FBI, Wray said, “And this is not easy for me. I love it here, the organization, and all those working here. But my focus has always been on doing what is right for the FBI.” Due to his contract termination, this decision leaves the bureau out of the political mix he has been aiming at.

Trump approved Wray’s resignation because, in his view, Wray had worked against justice for a long time. “Chris Wray’s resignation is a great day for America,” Trump said that Wray headed politically charged investigations, including the FBI attack on Trump’s home.
After previously serving as a White House National Security Adviser, Trump seeks to name Kash Patel, an Indian-American, as the next FBI Director. Furiously pointing to Patel as one of the most qualified nominees in the agency’s history, Trump asserted that Patel’s leadership would bring parity and accountability into the bureau.

Merrick Garland thanked Wray for his integrity and commitment to serving and enforcing the rule of law. More mercifully, while expressing a pleasant reception to Wray, Senate leaders said there was a need to fix the FBI for the next leadership as they demanded more accountability from the bureau. Before the Senate Judiciary Committee convenes to assess Patel’s nomination, the dynamics move to a more hostile phase in the FBI under the Trump administration.
