FBI Agent Who Had Been Sitting on Epstein Files RESIGNS

Disgraced FBI agent James Dennehy, who just resigned, had been sitting on Epstein files containing damning evidence against politicians, celebrities, and other powerful figures.

The remaining files include surveillance footage, audio recordings, and photos.

Next in line for removal should be Maureen Comey, James Comey’s daughter, who still holds a key position in the same office.

About Dennehy's resignation :

The head of the FBI's New York Field Office was forced out of the bureau on Monday, a month after he urged his employees to "dig in" after the Trump administration removed senior FBI leaders and requested the names of all agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases, five sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

In an email to staff on Monday, Dennehy said that he had been forced to retire from the bureau.

"Late Friday, I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did," Dennehy wrote. "I was not given a reason for this decision."

Two of the sources said James Dennehy, a highly respected leader, was given a choice to resign or be fired. He was eligible for retirement and has officially retired.

Last month, Dennehy wrote an email to his staff after the Trump Justice Department, led by Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, demanded a list of employees who had worked criminal cases against the hundreds of Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own as good people are being walked out of the FBI,” Dennehy wrote. “And others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy.”

“Time for me to dig in,” Dennehy added.
