WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he’ll nominate a former Justice Department official as FBI director.
Trump’s tweets that his choice lawyer, Christopher Wray, is “a man of impeccable credentials.”
There’s no more information in the two-sentence tweet that ends, “Details to follow.”
Wray emerged from a list of former prosecutors, politicians and law enforcement officials interviewed by Trump since the president fired FBI Director James Comey last month.
Wray works at the King & Spalding law firm. He represented New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie during the investigation into the George Washington Bridge lane-closing case.
Two former Christie aides were convicted of plotting to close bridge lanes to punish a Democratic mayor who wouldn’t endorse the Republican governor.
Wray worked for the Justice Department under President George W. Bush.
I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow.
