President-elect Donald Trump has hailed the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray, calling it a “great day for America” and a step toward ending what he described as the “weaponization” of the Department of Justice.
“The resignation of Christopher Wray marks the end of an era where the FBI’s power was misused to interfere with the success and future of our country,” Trump tweeted.
He alleged that during Wray’s tenure, the FBI engaged in actions that included raiding his home “illegally,” orchestrating efforts to impeach and indict him and threatening the livelihoods of innocent Americans.
Trump underscored his commitment to restoring public trust in the FBI, emphasizing the importance of accountability and fairness in the nation’s justice system. “We will now restore the Rule of Law for all Americans,” he said.
He announced that Kash Patel, a former senior government official, and ally, would be his nominee to lead the FBI while describing him as “the most qualified nominee to lead the FBI in the agency’s history,” touting Patel’s dedication to law and order as a critical factor in his selection.
“I look forward to Kash Patel’s confirmation so that the process of making the FBI great again can begin,” Trump stated, adding that the American public and the FBI’s rank-and-file agents support these changes.

As Trump prepares to take office, the move reflects his broader effort to overhaul the Justice Department and address what he and his supporters view as institutional biases. The confirmation of Patel, who is known for his staunch loyalty to Trump, is expected to be closely scrutinized by lawmakers and the public alike.
“This is about delivering a strong, but fair, system of justice,” Trump concluded. “We want our FBI back, and that will now happen.”
The transition in leadership at the FBI signals a significant shift in federal law enforcement policy and priorities, setting the stage for what could be a contentious new chapter for the nation’s premier investigative agency.
