Top FBI agent in Chicago abruptly leaving post after being pushed to retire, AP sources say

Douglas DePodesta, the FBI's special agent in charge in Chicago, is abruptly leaving his position after being pushed to retire, according to sources and a resignation message. His departure is linked to Director Kash Patel's efforts to remove agents not aligned with the Trump administration agenda. DePodesta cited a conflict in his farewell note, suggesting his exit resulted from standing up for FBI personnel.
