The assistant director in charge of the FBI New York division, James Dennehy, has announced his retirement in an email to colleagues. Dennehy stated that he was informed of the decision to retire on short notice and was not given a reason for the action.
Dennehy's retirement comes amidst reports of potential mass firings within the FBI. In a previous message to the workforce, Dennehy expressed concern over the treatment of FBI personnel and vowed to stand up for those who were being targeted for simply doing their jobs within the boundaries of the law and FBI policy.
