F.B.I. director Christopher A. Wray's decision to resign in January comes after President-elect Trump publicly expressed his desire to replace him, marking a significant shift in leadership.
For over seven years, Wray led the F.B.I. through complex investigations and public scrutiny, managing national security threats, terrorism, and congressional inquiries while dealing with Trump’s criticisms.
The scrutiny of Trump, particularly investigations regarding classified documents and election interference, played a decisive role in Wray's resignation, illustrating the tension between the F.B.I. and the Trump administration.
Mr. Wray's tenure was marked by significant challenges including mass shootings, rising right-wing extremism, and coordination of a large agency amid political turmoil and scrutiny from various factions.
