FBI Director Wray says he intends to resign at end of Biden's term in January
FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday he plans to resign at the end of President Joe Biden's term in January, an announcement that came a week and a half after President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate loyalist Kash Patel for the job. At a town hall meeting with the bureau workforce, Wray said he would be stepping down “after weeks of careful thought.” Wray's intended resignation is not unexpected considering that Trump had picked Patel for the role in his new administration.

New approach to Rocky Mountain grizzlies sought ahead of the second Trump presidency
Environmental groups are asking the U.S. government to do more to protect Rocky Mountain grizzly bears before the next Trump administration decides the big bruins’ future. The groups petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Wednesday to take steps to connect the bears' separate populations. “Overwhelming scientific consensus agrees that a naturally connected metapopulation of grizzly bears will lead to improved genetic diversity and greater demographic resiliency of the species,” says the petition submitted by Earthjustice lawyers on behalf of 14 groups including the Sierra Club and Humane Society of the United States.

Attorneys for man accused in Trump assassination attempt seek lengthy trial delay
Attorneys for a man accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump in September asked a federal judge on Wednesday to delay his trial until next December as they need more time to review the evidence against him and decide whether to mount an insanity defense. Ryan Wesley Routh's public defenders told District Judge Aileen Cannon they cannot prepare their case by February when the trial is currently scheduled, saying that's not enough time to review the massive amounts of phone and computer evidence the FBI has retrieved. Routh owned 17 cellphones and numerous other electronic devices, plus there are hundreds of hours of police body camera and surveillance videos that have been provided to the defense.

Affirmative action opponents sue US Air Force Academy
The group that successfully persuaded the U.S. Supreme Court to ban race-conscious admissions at civilian colleges is expanding its fight to end affirmative action at military academies with a new lawsuit against the U.S. Air Force Academy. Students for Fair Admissions, a group founded by affirmative action opponent Edward Blum, filed the lawsuit against the Air Force Academy late on Tuesday, just days after a judge rejected its challenge to race-conscious admissions at the Annapolis, Maryland-based U.S. Naval Academy. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Colorado, where the Air Force Academy is based, and alleges the school engages in unlawful discrimination and violates the equal protection clause in the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment by considering race as an admissions factor.

A Montana law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors will remain temporarily blocked, the state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, after justices agreed with a lower court judge who found the law likely violates the state's constitutional right to privacy. The case against the Montana law now goes to trial before District Court Judge Jason Marks in Missoula. “I will never understand why my representatives are working to strip me of my rights and the rights of other transgender kids,” Phoebe Cross, a 17-year-old transgender boy and lead plaintiff, said in a statement.
