FBI Director Christopher Wray to Resign Before Trump Takes Office

Christopher Wray, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has announced his intention to resign from his position. This decision comes after weeks of careful thought, according to Wray, and is expected to take place at the end of President Joe Biden's term in January. The reason behind Wray's resignation is not explicitly stated, but it is implied that he wants to avoid a potential collision with the new administration led by President-elect Donald Trump, which may have further entangled the FBI in investigations into Trump's conduct. Trump has already nominated Kash Patel to lead the law-enforcement agency, further solidifying the expectation of Wray's resignation.
