'Big blow': Expert flags latest major loss from FBI's 'crown jewel' 'forced out' by Trump
Story by Sarah K. Burris • 10h
The head of the FBI's New York field office resigned Monday afternoon, facing pressure from President Donald Trump's administration.
James Dennehy announced his resignation in an email to staff, NBC News reported. His resignation comes after Kash Patel began his first week leading the bureau last week. Before that, Justice Department deputy attorney general, Emil Bove, began a search for all FBI staff who worked on cases around the Jan. 6 attackers. Dennehy clashed with Bove over that probe into the staff.
"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 because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy," wrote Dennehy in an email to staffers in the office.
