Aug. 19 (UPI) -- The Trump administration has tapped Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to be the new co-deputy director of the FBI.

Bailey, a staunch President Donald Trump ally, announced his resignation Monday as Missouri's attorney general, effective Sept. 8, in order to take on the new position.

"My life has been defined by a call to service, and I am once again answering that call, this time at the national level," he said in a statement.

"I extend my deepest gratitude to President Trump and U.S. Attorney General [Pam] Bondi for the privilege to join in their stated mission to Make America Safe Again."
