President Donald Trump said that it was “probably” a mistake to put Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray in his current post amid a litany of concerns about the agency chief’s conduct.
Following his decision in May 2017 to fire former FBI Director James Comey over his handling of an investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump nominated Mr. Wray for the post. While Mr. Wray’s nomination breezed through the Senate in a 92–5 vote, the bureau director has become a top Republican target as he faces allegations of helping to “weaponize” the department.
