(Discern Report)—In a significant shake-up within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), at least six senior leaders who were promoted under former Director Christopher Wray have been instructed to retire, resign, or face termination by Monday, according to sources familiar with the matter. This move continues a broader purge that started last week at the Justice Department, signaling a clear intent by the Trump administration to reshape the leadership of these key law enforcement agencies.
Transition officials from the Trump administration have been vocal about their plans to sideline leaders who were elevated by Wray, who was appointed by Trump himself but resigned early due to the President’s expressed intent to replace him.
This personnel overhaul comes at a time when many FBI agents, particularly those who worked on investigations related to the January 6 Capitol attack and Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, are on edge about potential repercussions or career setbacks, mirroring the experiences of several career Justice Department attorneys.
In short, they’re scared and they should be with Kash Patel’s confirmation hearings for FBI Director going well.
On Inauguration Day, amidst heightened national security concerns, Paul Abbate, who was then serving as the acting director of the FBI following Wray’s resignation, also stepped down. His position was immediately filled by two senior agents from the FBI’s Newark and New York offices, appointed by the Trump transition team.
Tom Ferguson, a former agent and aide to Representative Jim Jordan, known for his critical stance against the FBI, has recently joined the FBI headquarters as a policy adviser, further illustrating the administration’s direction.
These changes reflect President Trump’s commitment to his campaign promise of dismantling the weaponization of the FBI. He promised to take down the Deep State and it starts with the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
The rapid reshuffling of leadership within the FBI underlines the new administration’s approach to ensuring the nation’s top law enforcement agency is going its job.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
