FBI Co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey Resigns After One Year of Tensions with Kash Patel

Andrew Bailey, the former Missouri attorney general and FBI co-deputy director, announced his resignation on September 28, 2026, effective October 2. He cited family reasons in a post on X, thanking President Trump, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Director Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve.
