In a terse resignation letter, Wray said he was leaving “with a heavy heart” but added that he was “proud” of the work the bureau had done under his leadership.

Wray’s resignation comes at a time of heightened political tension in the United States. The FBI is currently investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, and Wray has been a target of criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.
