The acting director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Paul Abbate, reportedly retired just minutes before Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president.
Former FBI Director Christopher Wray announced on Dec. 11 that he would step down from the bureau before Trump took office, and Wray's resignation went into effect Sunday.
Abbate, who took the helm from Wray, stepped down from the bureau just a day later, the New York Times reported.
