Bill Priestap, assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division, is retiring by the end of the year. After his departure, there will be no top FBI officials left from the group that investigated Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information and launched a counterintelligence probe into the Trump administration.
“Assistant Director Bill Priestap became eligible to retire and has chosen to do so after 20 years of service,” the FBI said in an emailed statement, referring to the FBI rule that employees over 50 years of age can retire after 20 years of service with a full pension.
