曾被广泛视为联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔潜在继任者的联邦调查局联合副局长安德鲁·贝利周一宣布辞职。
多名消息人士透露，他的辞职将于10月2日生效。在周一上午发给探员的电子邮件以及他在X平台上发布的辞职声明中，贝利将辞职原因归结为家庭因素。帕特尔在X平台的一篇帖子中感谢贝利“为落实关键改革所做出的出色贡献”。
贝利此前曾担任密苏里州总检察长，他是被请来缓解时任司法部长帕姆·邦迪和前联邦调查局副局长丹·邦吉诺之间据报道存在的紧张关系的。他被提拔为联合副局长，这一职位此前一直由职业公职人员担任。这也是该职位首次由两人分担。
从任职初期开始，贝利和帕特尔的关系就不融洽。两名熟悉两人关系的消息人士透露，贝利最初并未被邀请参加会议，其中一名消息人士补充称，帕特尔指示工作人员称他为局长、称邦吉诺为副局长、称贝利为联合副局长。
这些消息人士还表示，帕特尔一直对贝利保持距离，不让他参加联邦调查局副局长理应出席的会议，因为贝利经常指出一些涉嫌违宪的事项。
邦吉诺于今年1月离开联邦调查局。目前联邦调查局还有另一名联合副局长克里斯·拉亚，他此前曾担任该局纽约分局主管助理局长。
贝利辞职前不久，华盛顿分局负责反恐事务的两名探员遭到降职，此前白宫政策副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒及其妻子凯蒂·米勒投诉称，联邦调查局在调查针对他们的所谓威胁方面力度不足。
两名熟悉此事的消息人士透露，斯蒂芬和凯蒂·米勒并未要求因处理针对凯蒂·米勒的威胁案而解雇任何人，但联邦调查局官员还是重新调配了部分探员的工作。
去年秋天，一名当地活动人士在斯蒂芬·米勒家门外抗议特朗普政府的政策，并呼吁国会对米勒展开调查，此后米勒夫妇搬进了军事住房。NBC新闻最先报道了贝利辞职的消息。
当被置评请求时，白宫援引了帕特尔在X平台上的帖子作为回应。

Top FBI official Andrew Bailey, who was once widely seen as Patel successor, resigns

By
Andrew Bailey, FBI co-deputy director who was once widely viewed as a potential successor to FBI Director Kash Patel, is resigning, he announced Monday.
His resignation takes effect Oct. 2, multiple sources said. In an email to agents Monday morning and a post on X about his resignation, Bailey cited family reasons. In an X post, Patel thanked Bailey for “his fantastic contribution instituting critical reforms.”
Bailey was previously the Missouri attorney general who was brought in to help ease reported tensions between former Attorney General Pam Bondi and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. He was elevated to co-deputy, a position that had always been filled by a career staffer. It marked the first time that the job was split between two people.
From the outset, Bailey’s relationship with Patel was troubled. Initially, Bailey was not invited to meetings, according to two sources familiar with their dynamic, with one adding that Patel instructed staff to refer to him as director, to Bongino as deputy director and Bailey as co-deputy director.
The sources added that Patel consistently kept Bailey at arm’s length and cut him out of meetings the deputy FBI director should attend because Bailey was constantly flagging things that were unconstitutional.
Bongino left the FBI in January. There is still another FBI co-deputy, Chris Raia, who was formerly the assistant director in charge of the bureau’s New York City Field Office.
Bailey’s resignation comes shortly after two agents who oversaw counterterrorism at the Washington Field Office were demoted after White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller and his wife, Katie Miller, complained that the FBI was not doing enough to investigate alleged threats against them.
Stephen and Katie Miller didn’t request that anyone be fired over the handling of threats against Katie Miller, but FBI officials chose to reassign some FBI personnel, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Last fall, the Millers moved into military housing after a local activist protested Trump administration policies outside their home and encouraged protesters to call for a congressional investigation into Stephen Miller. NBC News first reported Bailey’s resignation.
Asked for comment, the White House pointed to Patel’s X post.
