FBI Director Christopher Wray says he’ll resign as Donald Trump takes office
As Donald Trump prepares to take the helm of the United States, FBI Director Christopher Wray has announced his intention to step down from his position. This bombshell announcement casts a shadow of uncertainty over the future of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as Wray’s leadership has been crucial in maintaining its integrity amidst ongoing political turmoil.
The timing of Wray’s resignation raises questions about the potential influence of the incoming administration on the independence of the FBI. Speculation swirls as to whether the agency will continue to operate as a non-partisan protector of justice or succumb to potential political interference. The future of the FBI hangs in the balance as the nation faces a new era of leadership and the potential for significant change.
Trump’s transition team turns to Project 2025 after disavowing it during the campaign
After dismissing Project 2025 during the campaign, Donald Trump’s newly appointed transition team has quietly signalled that it will form the cornerstone of his administration’s long-term agenda.
The document, which provides a detailed framework for the next 20 years, was drafted by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and has since received the blessing of close ally, Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
Sources close to the team say that it will be the blueprint for a host of policy announcements, including those on trade, immigration, healthcare and energy.
The decision is likely to anger many of Trump’s supporters, who voted for him on the promise of a swift repeal of Barack Obama’s tenure.
