This as the IG’s report looms, and Congress just postponed his testimony today before them because he had new information. These two resignations today seem highly coincidental.
Two FBI officials — both advisers to former FBI Director James Comey — are resigning from their posts at the agency.
James Baker, who served as the bureau’s top lawyer until late last year when he was reassigned as an adviser to FBI Director Christopher Wray, is resigning, per the New York Times. He is also being looked at for possibly disclosing classified information with journalists about the so-called Trump dossier, though he has not been charged.
Comey addressed Baker’s departure in a tweet Twitter Friday night, heaping praise on his former adviser.
