Biden to Keep Wray as FBI Director


Quote:President Biden plans to keep FBI Director Christopher Wray in his position, allowing him to continue serving out his 10-year term.

Wray was nominated by then-President Trump to helm the FBI in June 2017, after Trump abruptly fired James Comey from the position as the bureau was investigating his campaign’s communications with Russia.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki did not directly answer when asked at a briefing Wednesday evening whether Biden had confidence in Wray, saying she had not spoken with Biden about Wray specifically "in recent days."

Psaki tweeted Thursday that her remarks caused an "unintentional ripple" and that she "wanted to state very clearly President Biden intends to keep FBI Director Wray on in his role and he has confidence in the job he is doing."

Trump considered removing Wray from the position following the election last year but never went through with it, with Wray maintaining strong support from some of Trump’s Republican allies.

The association representing the 14,000 active and retired FBI agents last year voiced support for Wray and urged Biden to keep him in the position.

Biden’s decision to keep Wray means that the director stays on as the bureau withstands scrutiny for its role responding to the riot at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month. The matter is currently under investigation by the Justice Department inspector general.

The decision was welcomed by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who commended Wray for serving with "great professionalism and integrity."

If Schiff for brains is OK with it......... 01-wingedeagle

There was never the slightest chance that Biden’s handlers would get rid of Christopher Wray. He is exactly what they want in that position.

Exactly. The castle had been infiltrated, and now that the walls have been breached, the infiltrators are part of the new King’s court........

Trump hired Wray and could have removed him at any point.

I have no issue with this. I think Trump should have fired him, but actually think Biden is doing what was intended by letting him serve out his term rather than replace him simply because he can.

A big improvement over Comey, but still a misjudgment on Trump’s part. It happens.

Even Trump flinched from some political battles.
