美国联邦调查局（FBI）的两位副局长之一安德鲁·贝利（Andrew Bailey）于周一宣布辞职，他在该机构任职一年多后离开了这个美国最重要的执法机构。
Andrew Bailey, one of the FBI’s two deputy directors, said on Monday he is resigning his position, leaving the most prominent US law enforcement agency after a little more than a year.
贝利是唐纳德·特朗普总统的共和党盟友；他辞去密苏里州检察长职务后加入了FBI。他表示辞职的原因是希望回归家庭。
Bailey, a Republican ally of US President Donald Trump who left his job as Missouri attorney general to join the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), said he was leaving to return to his family.
在卡什·帕特尔（Kash Patel）局长的领导下，贝利曾负责监督与选举相关的调查工作。今年早些时候，FBI特工从乔治亚州查获了2020年大选的投票记录。
Bailey, serving under FBI Director Kash Patel, helped oversee election-related investigations and was present earlier this year when agents seized 2020 election ballots from Georgia.
贝利在社交媒体上写道：“我相信帕特尔局长会继续推进FBI的改革工作，打击暴力犯罪，保卫国家安全，确保机构内部的问责机制得到完善，并重新赢得公众对这一优秀机构的信任。”
“I am confident Director Patel will continue to reform the FBI, combat violent crime, defend the homeland, ensure strong organisational accountability, and restore public trust in this institution of excellence,” Bailey wrote on social media.
FBI副局长这一职位历来由具有专业背景的官员担任，且该职位本身具有非政治性质。然而特朗普在重组FBI以推动其政治议程的过程中，任命了自己的政治盟友担任这一职务。
The deputy director’s post, which oversees day-to-day law enforcement operations, has traditionally been apolitical and filled by career FBI officials. Trump has installed political allies in the role as he overhauls the agency to align with his agenda.
贝利最初与丹·邦吉诺（Dan Bongino）共同担任副局长；邦吉诺曾是美国特勤局官员，后来成为了一名保守派播客主持人，他于今年1月离开了FBI。目前，克里斯托弗·拉亚（Christopher Raia）与贝利、帕特尔共同组成FBI的领导团队。
Bailey initially served as co-deputy director alongside Dan Bongino, a former US Secret Service agent and conservative podcaster, who left the FBI in January. Christopher Raia, a veteran FBI official, has more recently served as part of a three-person leadership team with Bailey and Patel.
贝利加入FBI之际，正值帕特尔遭遇一系列重大失误：例如他对已故性犯罪者兼金融家杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的调查文件处理不当，这不仅给特朗普政府带来了政治麻烦，也引发了司法部的内部矛盾。
Bailey joined the FBI following a series of high-profile stumbles by Patel, including botched handling of investigative files on the late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein that caused political headaches for the Trump administration and internal tension at the Justice Department.
此次FBI高层的辞职事件发生在美国中期选举（将决定国会控制权归属）前的五周。特朗普政府已动员所有联邦执法机构对非美国公民的选举行为展开调查。
The latest high-profile departure at the FBI comes about five weeks before the US midterm elections that will determine control of Congress. The Trump administration has mobilised federal law enforcement agencies to investigate voting in elections by non-US citizens.
贝利在联邦调查局（FBI）任职期间，曾协助处理特朗普政府针对选举问题的调查工作。FBI审查了多个州的选举记录，但并未找到任何证据来证实特朗普关于“大规模选民欺诈导致其2020年竞选失败”的虚假指控。
Bailey during his tenure at the FBI has helped manage the Trump administration’s investigations into election issues. The FBI has scrutinised election records from several states but has not produced evidence to substantiate Trump’s false claims that widespread voter fraud led to his electoral defeat in 2020.
