两名知情人士告诉CNN，联邦调查局高级官员、前共和党政客安德鲁·贝利周一早些时候向该局工作人员宣布，他将辞职，以便有更多时间陪伴家人。
贝利去年被联邦调查局聘用前曾担任密苏里州总检察长，这一不同寻常的任命是为了让他与局长卡什·帕特尔共同担任新设立的“联合副 director”。当时，由于前司法部长帕姆·邦迪在处理与定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦调查相关文件的问题上与保守派播客主播丹·邦迪诺产生分歧，邦迪诺当时尚未离职，贝利被聘来与他共同分担联邦调查局副局长的职责。
联邦调查局内部曾广泛猜测，专注于选举安全事务的贝利最终会被要求接替帕特尔执掌联邦调查局，但这一情况始终未能实现。
邦迪诺今年早些时候辞职，重返播客行业。他的职位由一名资深联邦调查局职业特工接任，但包括贝利在内的“联合副局长”模式得以保留。
联邦调查局副局长一职历来由一名联邦调查局职业特工担任，负责管理该局3.8万名工作人员的日常运营。目前尚不清楚该局是否会恢复这一传统惯例。

贝利在周一的社交媒体帖子中证实了自己的离职，他称赞自己在任期间取得了“‘让美国再次安全’使命下的历史性成果”，并表示将回到密苏里州与家人团聚。
正如CNN此前报道的那样，贝利原本是唐纳德·特朗普第二任期就职前联邦调查局局长一职的候选人。2024年，他与帕特尔几乎同时在海湖庄园接受了特朗普的面试。CNN报道称，特朗普最终对这名密苏里州官员并不满意，称贝利不符合这位当选总统想要的、作为联邦调查局掌舵人的“法律猛犬”形象。
一名熟悉贝利离职情况的消息人士表示，帕特尔与贝利的关系在贝利去年入职该局后很快就冷却了，两人关系并不亲近。
但在辞职声明中，贝利表示他“相信帕特尔局长将继续改革联邦调查局，打击暴力犯罪”，并“保卫国土”。
帕特尔在社交媒体上回应了贝利的离职声明，感谢他的服务以及对特朗普政府各项指令的落实。

One of Kash Patel’s deputies resigns from the FBI

Andrew Bailey, a senior FBI official and former Republican politician, told the agency’s workforce early Monday that he is resigning to spend more time with his family, two sources familiar told CNN.
Bailey served as Missouri’s attorney general before being hired by the FBI last year in an unusual move to serve as a newly created “co-deputy” to Director Kash Patel. He was brought on to split the FBI’s deputy director role with since-departed conservative podcaster Dan Bongino during a rift between Bongino and former Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of files pertaining to the investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
It was widely speculated within the FBI that Bailey, whose focus at the bureau included election security issues, would eventually be asked to take the reins from Patel — a development that never materialized.
Bongino resigned earlier this year and returned to his podcasting career. He was replaced by a career senior FBI agent, although the “co-deputy director” model that included Bailey continued.
The position of FBI deputy director was historically filled by one career FBI agent who managed the day-to-day operations of the workforce of 38,000 people. It is unclear whether the agency will return to that precedent.

In a social media post Monday confirming his departure from the agency, Bailey touted the delivery under his tenure of “historic results in our mission to Make America Safe Again” and said he would return to his family in Missouri.
As CNN previously reported, Bailey was originally under consideration to lead the FBI before Donald Trump’s second inauguration. He interviewed for the job with Trump in 2024 at Mar-a-Lago around the same time as Patel. Ultimately, Trump wasn’t impressed with the Missouri official, CNN reported, and said Bailey did not fit the mold of the legal bulldog the president-elect wanted to helm the FBI.
One source familiar with Bailey’s departure said relations between Patel and Bailey had quickly cooled shortly after his arrival at the agency last year and the two men were not close.
But in the announcement announcing his resignation, Bailey said he was “confident Director Patel will continue to reform the FBI, combat violent crime” and to “defend the homeland.”
Patel responded to Bailey’s announcement on social media by thanking him for his service and for fulfilling the Trump administration’s mandates.
