FBI director Chris Wray will step down from his post early next year, after Republican president-elect Donald Trump signaled his intent to fire the veteran official and replace him with firebrand Kash Patel.
Trump himself had appointed Mr Wray, a fellow Republican, to his 10-year term in 2017, after firing his predecessor James Comey, who the then-president soured on over the FBI’s investigations into alleged contacts between his 2016 campaign and Russia.
