WASHINGTON — FBI Director Christopher Wray told bureau workers Wednesday that he plans to resign at the end of President Joe Biden’s term in January, an announcement that came a week and a half after President-elect Donald Trump said he would nominate loyalist Kash Patel for the job.

"The resignation of Christopher Wray is a great day for America as it will end the Weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice," Trump wrote on his social media platform. "I just don't know what happened to him. We will now restore the Rule of Law for all Americans."

At a town hall meeting with the bureau workforce, Wray said he would be stepping down “after weeks of careful thought.”

I look forward to Kash Patel’s confirmation, so that the process of Making the FBI Great Again can begin,' Trump said.
