Donald Trump's pick to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has claimed the first casualty from his hit list of 60 people who he thinks are the main actors of the deep state. FBI Director Christopher Wray will resign at the end of the Biden administration, the agency said on Wednesday. Wray was appointed by Trump in 2017 during his first term after Trump fired then director James Comey. After Trump's re-election, he announced several appointments among whom was Kash Patel as the next FBI Director.

Trump had called it weaponization of the agency which he said was part of a deep state conspiracy aimed at undermining his presidency.
