Escalation: Andrew Bailey Resigns As FBI Co-Deputy Director
Andrew Bailey resigned as the FBI’s co-deputy director on Sept. 28, announcing in a post on X that he is leaving to return to his family in Missouri. He served about a year in the role, after being nominated in August 2025 and sworn in on Sept. 15, 2025, following his tenure as Missouri’s attorney general.
In his message he thanked President Donald Trump, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel, saying he was proud of what had been accomplished. He expressed confidence that Patel would continue the bureau’s reforms and crime-fighting work, and his departure leaves a top deputy slot open.
