Andrew Bailey, the FBI's associate deputy director, announced Monday that he will step down, leaving the most important federal law enforcement agency in the US after just over a year in the post.

Bailey, a Republican ally of President Donald Trump who left his post as Missouri attorney general to join the FBI, said he is leaving to return to his family, Reuters reports.

During his time at the FBI, under Director Kash Patel, Bailey helped oversee election-related investigations. Earlier this year, he was present when agents seized 2020 ballots in Georgia.

"I am confident that Director Patel will continue to reform the FBI, fight violent crime, protect the country, ensure strong institutional accountability, and restore public trust in this great institution," Bailey wrote on social media.

The deputy director position, which oversees day-to-day law enforcement operations, has traditionally been apolitical and held by career FBI officials. However, Trump has placed political allies in the position as he restructures the agency in line with his administration's agenda.

Bailey initially served as co-deputy director alongside Dan Bongino, a former U.S. Secret Service agent and conservative podcaster who left the FBI in January.

Meanwhile, Christopher Raia, a veteran FBI official, has recently served on a three-person leadership structure alongside Bailey and Patel.

Bailey joined the FBI after a series of high-profile problems under Patel, including the mishandling of investigative files related to convicted financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The case caused political problems for the Trump administration and internal tensions within the Justice Department.

The latest departure of a high-profile official from the FBI comes about five weeks before the US midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress.

The Trump administration has mobilized federal law enforcement agencies to investigate issues related to voting by non-US citizens.

During his time at the FBI, Bailey helped manage the Trump administration's investigation into election matters. The FBI has reviewed election records in several states but has not produced evidence to support Trump's false claim that widespread voter fraud caused his loss in the 2020 election.
