How the FBI is functioning on the ground, even as leadership shifts
Tucked away in an industrial park on a desert campus near the outskirts of town is the Phoenix bureau of the FBI.
Inside, past security, a new picture hangs on the wall: acting Director Andrew McCabe has replaced former Director James Comey. In Phoenix, Special Agent in Charge Michael DeLeon said that on the ground, despite the uncertainty in the upper ranks, not much has changed.
This week, Christopher Wray, President Trump’s pick to run the FBI, appeared at Senate confirmation hearings. Wray was tapped by Trump in the wake of Comey's firing and the Russia election probe.
The FBI has 56 field divisions across the country. Because of the location in the Southwest, DeLeon said the Phoenix division frequently works with state and local agencies as well as other nations.
