The longtime head of public affairs at the FBI -- who was a confidant of former director James Comey -- is planning to retire, Fox News has learned.
A notice went out this week for a retirement get-together for Michael Kortan scheduled for Feb. 15. Since 2009, Kortan has served as assistant director for public affairs, an influential job that controlled media access. He also served under former director Robert Mueller, now leading the Russia probe.
The FBI confirmed to Fox News that Kortan is retiring.
It's unclear whether the retirement was long-planned or in any way precipitated by recent events. The FBI said he was finishing 33 years of service.
After Comey became director in September 2013, Kortan helped facilitate regular on-the-record briefings with beat reporters, a departure from previous directors.

His retirement kicked in...
Can you believe these scum, AND Lois Lerner, are retiring on our tax dollars??
WHY CAN’T WE DEFUND THEIR PENSIONS!!! CALLING PAUL RYAN.....!!!
Perhaps Congress can pass a law that allows the revocation of retirement benefits for discovered corruption on the job.
Amen...They probably could and definitely should but I’d bet most of them would think about their own retirement first and decide it’s not a good idea.
I think what happens next is that some of the lower-level (not low-level, though) types start to sing. It doesn’t make sense to continue breaking the law for people who are now out of power. This is getting fun!
Right on and I’m anxious to start reading about who sings and what’s said. :)
Yes, he’s most deserving of it.
“Perhaps Congress can pass a law that allows the revocation of retirement benefits for discovered corruption on the job.”
Maybe there is a law somewhere there under the radar. Are FBI HR Policies available online, or overall Fed policies? It would be interesting to research this.
Apparently not... Kortan was the guy McCabe had working with the WSJ on “correcting” a story via leaks regarding his wife Jill’s campaign
