FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday announced he would resign from the bureau at the end of the Biden administration next month, with more than two years remaining on his term in office.

“My goal is to keep the focus on our mission — the indispensable work you’re doing on behalf of the American people every day,” he told employees at an FBI town hall, according to an excerpt the FBI shared with reporters. “In my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work.”

President-elect Donald Trump in a post on Truth Social called Wray’s resignation “a great day for America as it will end the Weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice.” The FBI director reports to the Department of Justice. “I just don’t know what happened to him.”

Trump had already said he would nominate Kash Patel, a close ally and former national security aide, to replace Wray.
