President Trump’s nominee for FBI director will testify during a confirmation hearing on July 12.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, made the announcement Wednesday, setting the stage for what could be a contentious hearing.
Wray, who led the Justice Department’s Criminal Division under former President George W. Bush, is seeking confirmation for a 10-year term.
Democrats plan to grill Wray about his representation of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie involving the Bridgegate scandal.
If confirmed, Wray will take over the bureau after Trump’s controversial – and some say illegal – firing of Director James Comey.
