FBI co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey steps down after one year on the job
The former Missouri attorney general joined the bureau in a new “co-deputy director” position last year before the departure of Dan Bongino.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the item as Andrew Bailey leaving his FBI leadership post after about a year, with Washington Post and the New York Times explicitly identifying him as a top bureau figure. NBC News alone foregrounds that he was the co-deputy director in a newly created role and says two people familiar with the matter said so. The New York Times uniquely mentions he was part of a three-person leadership team.
