FBI Director Christopher Wray is preparing to resign as President-elect Trump moves forward with his nominee for FBI Director, Kash Patel. Wray, who’s been under fire for years, has finally realized the writing is on the wall and is reportedly planning to leave by Inauguration Day rather than face the humiliation of being fired.
The resignation comes after Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa delivered a scorching letter to Wray and his deputy, Paul Abbate, demanding they step down “for the good of the country.” In his letter, Grassley didn’t mince words: “It’s time for you and your deputy to move on to the next chapter in your lives. I therefore must express my vote of no confidence in your continued leadership of the FBI.” With Grassley poised to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee, the pressure on Wray to exit gracefully has reached a boiling point.
According to The Washington Times, sources inside the FBI have confirmed Wray’s plans. “He’s going to be gone at the inauguration. On or before the inauguration,” one source revealed. Wray’s decision to step down rather than be fired by Trump underscores just how weak his position has become.
Deputy Director Paul Abbate, who initially planned to stay through May or June to assist with the transition, is now also considering an earlier departure due to Grassley’s blistering letter. Abbate will appoint an acting deputy director upon Wray’s resignation, further solidifying the leadership change at the bureau.
This development follows Trump’s official nomination of Kash Patel to replace Wray. Patel, known for his no-nonsense approach and his role in exposing the Russiagate hoax, is a nightmare for the Deep State and its media allies. The Democrat-media complex has been in full meltdown mode, claiming Trump doesn’t have the authority to fire Wray. Senator Dick Durbin’s laughable assertion that Wray’s term is protected until 2027 has been soundly debunked—of course, the president can fire the FBI Director for any reason.
NBC’s Kristen Welker tried to corner Trump with a “gotcha” question about firing Wray. Trump didn’t take the bait, saying, “Well, I can’t say I’m thrilled with him. He invaded my home. I’m suing the country over it. He invaded Mar-a-Lago. I’m very unhappy with the things he’s done and crime is at an all-time high.”
Wray’s resignation is a victory for those demanding accountability from the FBI. Trump doesn’t even need to fire Wray—the swamp is draining itself. With Kash Patel waiting in the wings, a new era of transparency and justice is on the horizon.
