Controversial FBI Director Christopher Wray officially announced his resignation from the position on Wednesday. 

Wray was known for claiming that President-elect Donald Trump was spreading lies for calling his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, an assassination attempt. 

This also comes after Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) was critical of Wray on Monday for what he called “failed” leadership of the law-enforcement agency and said it was time for Wray to leave.

In a letter to Wray that repeated many of President-elect Trump’s complaints about the FBI, Grassley criticized the FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Trump called the search “invasive and unwarranted.”

Wray’s announcement comes as Trump’s pick Kash Patel is set to take over the law-enforcement agency come January.
