- Marshall Yates, who headed the FBI’s congressional affairs office and played a key role in President Donald Trump’s investigation of his political enemies, is leaving his position.
- Yates, who started last March, was the main contact for the Senate Judiciary Committee and served on the Department of Justice-led Weaponization Working Group.
- The Weaponization Working Group, established by an administration, re-examined agency conduct during the Joe Biden era for potential political bias, including the prosecution of Capitol riot supporters.
- His departure follows that of former deputy director Dan Bongino from Kash Patel’s agency, with Yates stating he wishes to spend more time with his family.
- Reports previously indicated that Yates, along with Bongino and Nicole Rucker, received high-level security clearances at the FBI despite failing polygraph examinations.
