Andrew Bailey, the FBI's co-deputy director, has announced his resignation after about a year in the role, citing a desire to return to his family in Missouri. His departure comes during a period of significant changes within the agency, which has seen a number of career agents leave under the current leadership of Director Kash Patel.
Bailey was involved in overseeing investigations related to the 2020 election, including actions taken in Georgia. His resignation raises questions about the future leadership structure within the FBI, particularly regarding the appointment of another deputy director.
