Story summary

Andrew Bailey, a co-deputy director of the FBI and former Missouri attorney general, announced his resignation after just over one year at the bureau. He cited the desire to return to his family in Missouri as the reason for leaving. Bailey joined the FBI under President Donald Trump and Attorney General Todd Blanche, supporting then-FBI Director Kash Patel. In his role, he oversaw investigations related to the 2020 U.S. election integrity. His departure comes amid concerns about politicization within the bureau and questions around its leadership stability.
