FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey announced on Monday that he is leaving his position at the bureau. Bailey, who joined the agency roughly a year ago during the Trump administration, shared the news via a post on the social media platform X.

In his statement, Bailey thanked President Trump, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve in the role. He noted that he was leaving with "great pride" in the work accomplished during his tenure. The announcement comes as part of a series of leadership changes within the federal government. While the brief statement confirmed his exit, it did not provide specific reasons for his departure or details regarding his future professional plans. The FBI has not yet released a formal statement regarding a successor or an interim replacement for the deputy director role.
