Christopher Wray became the eighth director of the FBI following a swearing-in ceremony at the Justice Department in Washington on Wednesday.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as Director,” Wray said in a statement Wednesday. “I long ago grew to know and admire the FBI from my earliest days as a line prosecutor to my years as assistant attorney general. I am excited, humbled, and grateful, therefore, to have this chance to work side-by-side again with these fine professionals for the good of the country and the cause of justice.”
The Senate confirmed President Trump’s nomination of Wray earlier this week, with five Democrats voting no.
“Chris has the experience and the strength of character that the American people want in an FBI Director,” said Attorney General Sessions, adding that he looked forward to working with Wray every day to keep the country safe.
