The New York Post has more:

Raia, a career agent, was asked to take the FBI’s No. 2 position and he accepted, the bureau spokesperson said.

Raia will report to Washington, DC, on Monday to start the new job.

As deputy director, Raia will assist FBI Director Kash Patel and Co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey manage the bureau’s more than 30,000 employees.

Raia’s hiring means the unusual three-person leadership structure at the FBI – implemented when Bailey was hired in August amid reports of infighting at the bureau surrounding the handling of an investigation into pedophile Jeffrey Epstein – will remain in place.

The new deputy director has been with the bureau since 2003 and served as the FBI’s top counterterrorism official before leading the New York Field Office.

It’s unclear who will replace Raia in New York.
