President Donald Trump has initiated significant changes within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by reassigning key senior roles on day one of his administration. The shakeup began with former FBI Director Christopher Wray announcing his resignation, followed by acting director Paul Abbate stepping down just before Trump's inauguration.
Reports indicate that Bruce Swartz, the long-time head of the Justice Department’s office of international affairs, was among the 20 staffers reassigned. Brian Discoll has been appointed as the acting director, with Kashyap 'Kash' Patel awaiting confirmation by the U.S. Senate as the next FBI director.
