FBI Co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey Resigns After One Year
Last updated
1 hour ago
Bailey, a former Missouri attorney general and Trump ally, served as co-deputy director since September 2025, overseeing election-related matters including 2020 Georgia ballot investigations. He announced his resignation on Monday, effective October 2, thanking President Trump, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel for the opportunity. His brief tenure saw internal tensions, such as frustrations over a demotion of counterterrorism agents, and came amid broader FBI turnover and leadership questions one month before midterms.

The deputy director was also on the scene of the FBI’s raid on a Fulton County, Ga., election office in connection with the president’s claims of voting irregularities in the 2020 electoral count.
So many people have been arrested as part of that orchestra

Why did Bongino say it was fake news?

Sounds like a Patel/Bailey struggle to me.
Could be something personal.
But my money is on Kash being toxic.

A source familiar with the situation told The Post that Bailey had difficulty settling in at the bureau and had struggled with being so distant from his family back in Missouri.

Kash was allegedly not inviting him to meetings and tried to keep him out of the loop.
Probably rightly viewed him as a threat as a Director in waiting.

Later Monday morning, Andrew Bailey thanked President Trump, AG Blanche and Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve in the FBI. "I want to thank President Trump, AG Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve in the FBI. Under President Trump’s leadership, we have delivered historic results in our mission to Make America Safe Again," Bailey said. "With great pride in what we have accomplished, I am announcing that I am stepping down to return to my family in Missouri. I am confident Director Patel will continue to reform the FBI, combat violent crime, defend the homeland, ensure strong organizational accountability, and restore public trust in this institution of excellence," Bailey added. I want to thank President Trump, @AGToddBlanche, and @FBIDirectorKash for the opportunity to serve in the FBI. Under President Trump’s leadership, we have delivered historic results in our mission to Make America Safe Again.
Sounds like a good man - a good man who some left wing crazy is 'blackmailing' with a memory bomb from 25 years ago that he 'came on to her in a nasty way'...
Perp Walks Soon. Bailey Did His Job Well!!

Is it possible Dan is saying this is bs?
Not that he resigned, but the reasoning?

He was said to have been annoyed about the recent demotion of two senior counterterrorism agents in the Washington Field office over there handling an investigation into harassing phone calls to Stephen Miller’s wife.

Even if true stuff like this shouldn't come as a surprise.
