After being forced to retire by the Trump administration, I walked out of 26 Federal Plaza to a cheering crowd. My departure came after a battle with the Trump Justice Department, who wanted the names of FBI agents involved in the January 6 investigations.
I spoke briefly to the current and former FBI, NYPD, and other law enforcement officials who came to see me off, telling them, "I will always be faithful to this country, to this organization, and most of all, I will always be faithful to you. And I appreciate you being faithful to me, to this office, and more importantly, our mission."
I was given the choice to resign or be fired. It is unknown who the new Trump FBI director, Kash Patel, will choose to lead the FBI field office.
