Larry A. Potts is an American former FBI agent who briefly served as Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1995.[1] Potts was demoted due to investigation into two high-profile FBI controversies that he had been involved in: the 1992 standoff with American survivalist[2] Randy Weaver in Idaho, and the 1993 standoff with the Texas Branch Davidian church led by David Koresh.[3]
