FBI deputy director Andrew Bailey to resign after one year

Andrew Bailey, the deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, announced he will step down from his post.

Bailey, who has been overseeing investigations into former President Donald Trump’s election‑related activities, said in a post on X on Monday that he is leaving to “return to my family in Missouri.”

The resignation comes amid a broader shake‑up within the FBI, with the agency undergoing internal changes as it continues its high‑profile inquiries.

Bailey assumed the deputy director role roughly a year ago and has been a key figure in the bureau’s efforts to examine alleged election interference.

No further details were provided about the timing of his departure or any successor.
