James Dennehy, the FBI's New York Field Office chief, was forced to resign without explanation, marking a significant departure under the Trump administration. In his resignation letter, he acknowledged his absence from the bureau and highlighted his respect for his colleagues. Dennehy also referred to a recent battle regarding the treatment of FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol investigation, emphasizing their commitment to uphold the law amidst political pressures. His departure reflects ongoing turmoil within leadership at the FBI during a politically charged environment.
I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did. I was not given a reason for this decision.
We will not bend. We will not falter. We will not sacrifice what is right for anything or anyone.
Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted.
Dennehy expressed his deep respect for colleagues, describing them as 'an office of professionals who will always do the right thing for the right reasons.'
