FBI New York Chief James Dennehy Resigns Under Pressure from Trump Administration

Dennehy was reportedly forced to retire after resisting administration efforts to target agents involved in Capitol riot investigations.

James Dennehy, the head of the FBI's New York Field Office, announced his resignation on Monday, stating he was given no explanation for the decision.
Sources indicate Dennehy was forced to choose between retiring or being fired, following tensions with the Trump administration over investigations into the January 6 Capitol riots.
Dennehy previously urged his staff to 'dig in' after senior FBI officials were removed and the administration requested names of agents involved in Capitol riot cases.
The Trump administration has faced criticism for targeting FBI personnel and promoting figures with conservative media ties to leadership roles within the bureau.
Dennehy, a Marine Corps veteran and long-serving FBI official, is the latest in a series of high-profile departures from the agency under the current administration.
