FBI Director Resigns Before Trump’s Inauguration

According to Isna, American media reports indicate that Christopher Wray, the director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), plans to resign from his post before the US President-elect Donald Trump enters the White House.

Sources told The Washington Times that Mr. Wray plans to resign because he knows Trump has chosen someone else to head the FBI and does not want to be fired.

“He wants to step down with Trump’s inauguration,” a source said. “This will happen either on the day of inauguration or before.”

According to this report, with Roy’s resignation, the current FBI Deputy Director, Paul Abbitt, will be chosen as the interim head of this organization, and with the election of a new head by Trump, Abbitt will also leave the FBI. At the same time, Abit has planned to work as the deputy of the FBI until the middle of next year, so that the process of handing over this organization to the new head will be completed. But after Charles Gresley, the American lawmaker, in a letter to Christopher Ray, demanded his and Abit’s resignation, the plans of this American official changed.

Trump has announced that he will appoint Kash Patel, the former chief of staff of the Secretary of Defense and the former senior adviser of the National Security Council, as the new head of the FBI to shake up the agency.
