US EditionFBI names Christopher Raia co-deputy director after Dan Bongino's departure
Christopher Raia, with 22 years of FBI experience, replaces Dan Bongino to restore career leadership and steady bureau management, officials said.
- FBI Director Kash Patel named Christopher Raia to replace Dan Bongino as deputy director, reported by ABC News; Raia, a career FBI agent, will serve alongside co-deputy Andrew Bailey.
- Raia, a 22-year veteran, previously ran the New York field office and his selection restores the decades-long practice of a career agent in the deputy role after White House intervention installed Dan Bongino last year.
- Bongino's mercurial style and social-media clashes heightened tensions, while Raia was dispatched to steady a high-profile probe and manage its public response.
- The deputy director oversees daily FBI operations, and Kash Patel named career FBI agent Christopher Raia to handle day-to-day management; FBI agents and employees are likely to welcome the appointment, though the FBI did not immediately respond to comment.
- Restoring a career deputy positions the FBI to refocus on operational leadership after the White House's choice of Bongino last year disrupted norms and Raia's appointment may boost morale.
