FBI Director Christopher Wray is preparing for the possibility of being fired by Donald Trump.
The report states he intends on serving his 10-year term.
FBI Director Christopher Wray and Donald Trump’s team are planning for the possibility that the president-elect will replace Wray during the new administration, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
One person under consideration for Wray’s job is Trump adviser Kash Patel, who is also being considered to lead the CIA, according to two other sources.
Wray, whom Trump appointed in 2017 to a 10-year term, enjoys leading the FBI and had intended to serve out his term, a source said. But he’s also preparing for the possibility that Trump will seek to replace him, according to a separate source.
…
Replacing might not mean firing. Wray could resign if he was told Trump wants him gone, as is widely expected.
Trump campaigned in part on the idea of cleaning house at an FBI he has claimed is full of politically motivated and corrupt executives. He has frequently criticized Wray over the years, though not nearly as much as he has gone after other officials at the Justice Department, which oversees the FBI.
Trump previously called out Christopher Wray for his comments to Congress about Biden’s mental competency.
Former President Trump on Wednesday called on FBI Director Christopher Wray to resign for allegedly lying to Congress about President Biden’s mental competency.
The big picture: The Trump appointee, whose term is set to run into 2027, has previously come under heavy criticism from the former president and his allies.
Context: Wray spoke before the House Judiciary Committee earlier Wednesday about the assassination attempt against Trump.
…
What he’s saying: Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform that Wray’s response indicates he “found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with ‘Joe.’”
“If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop ‘sweet talking’ Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI,” Trump said.
