He refused to release prisoners after overturned convictions, attempted unsuccessfully to restrict gender-affirming care, battled initiatives that restored access to abortion in Missouri, and staunchly defended Donald Trump over his legal problems. Bailey was announced as co-deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on August 18, 2025 and was sworn on September 15.
