Washington: US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Ray said he plans to resign at the end of outgoing President Joe Biden’s term in January. Ray made this announcement in a meeting with bureau officials. Ray said his aim is to keep focus on our mission so that we keep working hard for you every day. He said this is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau into any controversy. Christopher Ray made this announcement at a time when newly elected President Donald Trump announced the nomination of Kash Patel for this post just a few days ago.
Trump responded
Donald Trump has also reacted to this announcement of Christopher Ray. Trump said that Christopher Ray’s resignation is a great day for America because it will end the weaponization of the Justice Department. Now we will restore the law for all Americans. The FBI, led by Christopher Ray, illegally raided my house. A false case was filed against me, he misused his powers to threaten or destroy the lives of many innocent people. Kash Patel is the perfect choice to lead the FBI.
It was Trump who appointed him
Meanwhile, let us also tell you here that Christopher Ray was appointed by the then President Donald Trump in 2017 for 10 years. Now after Ray’s resignation, he will be the second FBI director to be fired by Trump. Earlier, James Comey was removed by Trump during his first term as President.
Big changes can be seen
Donald Trump has chosen Indian-origin Kash Patel as the FBI chief. He will take up this post after getting approval from the Senate. Patel is considered close to Trump. He has been a member of the House Parliamentary Select Committee on Intelligence in 2017. Kash Patel has indicated many big changes after taking over the responsibility of FBI chief.
