FBI联合副局长安德鲁·贝利周一表示，他将辞去职务，在任职一年多后离开美国最著名的执法机构。
FBI Co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey said on Monday he is resigning his position, leaving the most prominent US law enforcement agency after a little more than a year.
贝利是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的共和党盟友，他辞去密苏里州检察长一职加入FBI，表示离职是为了回归家庭。在FBI局长卡什·帕特尔手下任职期间，贝利协助监督选举相关调查，并在今年早些时候FBI特工从佐治亚州查获2020年大选选票时在场。
Bailey, a Republican ally of US President Donald Trump who left his job as Missouri attorney general to join the FBI, said he was leaving to return to his family. 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：“我相信帕特尔局长将继续改革FBI，打击暴力犯罪，捍卫国家安全，确保强有力的组织问责制，并恢复公众对这一卓越机构的信任。”
"I am confident Director Patel will continue to reform the FBI, combat violent crime, defend the homeland, ensure strong organizational accountability, and restore public trust in this institution of excellence," Bailey wrote on social media.
副局长一职负责监督日常执法行动，传统上为非政治职位，由FBI资深官员担任。特朗普在改革该机构以符合其议程的过程中，安插政治盟友担任该职位。
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·邦吉诺共同担任联合副局长，后者是前美国特勤局特工和保守派播客主持人，已于1月离开FBI。
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.
资深FBI官员克里斯托弗·赖亚最近与贝利和帕特尔组成三人领导小组。
Christopher Raia, a veteran FBI official, has more recently served as part of a three-person leadership team with Bailey and Patel.
在帕特尔出现一系列高调失误后，贝利加入FBI，其中包括对已故性犯罪者和金融家杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的调查文件处理不当，给特朗普政府带来政治麻烦，并在司法部内部引发紧张局势。
Bailey joined the FBI following a series of high-profile stumbles by Patel, including botched handling of investigative files on late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein that caused political headaches for the Trump administration and internal tension at the Justice Department.
这起FBI最新的高调人事变动发生在美国中期选举前约五周，该选举将决定国会控制权。特朗普政府已动员联邦执法机构调查非美国公民在选举中的投票情况。
The latest high-profile departure at the FBI occurred about five weeks before the US midterm elections that will determine control of Congress. The Trump administration has mobilized federal law enforcement agencies to investigate voting in elections by non-US citizens.
Bailey在担任FBI职务期间，协助管理了特朗普政府对选举问题的调查。FBI审查了多个州的选举记录，但未能拿出证据证实特朗普关于大规模选民欺诈导致其在2020年大选中落败的虚假指控。
Bailey during his tenure at the FBI has helped manage the Trump administration's investigations into election issues. The FBI has scrutinized 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.
