FBI co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey has resigned to spend more time with his family in Missouri after serving in this unique role since last year. His position, which was created for the first time in FBI history, was sometimes unclear in its responsibilities; it's uncertain whether Christopher Raia will continue alone as the sole No. 2 at the agency. During his tenure, Bailey worked on election integrity investigations and supported former President Donald Trump’s initiatives to enhance public safety and restore trust in the FBI.
