FBI Director Chris Wray announces resignation from department

FBI Director Christopher Wray has announced plans to resign at the end of Biden’s term next month after a town hall discussion with his staff on Wednesday.

He did not give a specific date during his remarks, but announced his intention to leave at the end of the Biden administration.

“He had this conversation with the entire workforce because this has been brewing for a while — with the election recently,” WTOP National Security Correspondent JJ Green said.

On Monday, Senator Chuck Grassley called on Wray and his second in command to step down from their roles at the department. Grassley said the FBI hasn’t done enough to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct within its workforce or protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Louisiana on Saturday, giving President Donald Trump a win after he backed her to replace GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy. Letlow, who was endorsed by Trump, defeated state Treasurer John Fleming in the two-candidate runoff after they finished ahead of Cassidy in the GOP primary May 16. Letlow pledged her loyalty to Trump in a race where Cassidy, who voted to convict the president on impeachment charges in 2021, spent a year working to keep Trump from going after him. She has promised to work in lockstep with Trump to advance his agenda. “I am so filled with gratitude for the greatest president this country has every had, Donald J. Trump,” Letlow told supporters at her election night watch party in Baton Rouge. “I am also so incredibly grateful for your endorsement.”
