Christopher Wray, the F.B.I. director, said he would quit in January. The decision comes after President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to replace Wray with a longtime loyalist, Kash Patel, before the director’s 10-year term expired.
Wray’s F.B.I. repeatedly investigated Trump, which included a search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022 for classified documents. “I’m very unhappy with the things he’s done,” Trump said in an interview broadcast Sunday.
