“Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey will serve as the FBI’s co-deputy director, alongside the law enforcement agency’s current second-in-command, Dan Bongino. … Bailey has served as Missouri’s attorney general since 2023. He’s known for asking the Supreme Court to intervene on Missouri’s behalf in a criminal case against Mr. Trump brought by New York prosecutors — a longshot request that was rejected by the high court. He’s also defended his state’s restrictions on abortion and gender-affirming care for minors, and sued Starbucks over its diversity, equity and inclusion policies.” [editor’s note: Missourians will probably be relieved that the Missouri AG office is no longer the HQ of “Bailey for Governor” – TLK] (08/18/25)
