President Trump would not say whether he has confidence in his FBI Director Christopher Wray during an interview with The Hill.
The president also emphasized that he disagrees with Wray’s opinion that FBI agents didn’t spy on his 2016 campaign.
Wray told Congress in May he would not describe FBI investigations as “spying” when asked about Attorney General Bill Bar’s assertion that federal law enforcement officials “spied” on the Trump campaign.
“I mean, I disagree with him on that and I think a lot of people are disagreeing,” Trump told The Hill. “You may even disagree with him on that.”
When asked about his level of confidence in his FBI director, Trump said, “Well, we’ll see how it turns out.”
Trump’s response raised eyebrows because he fired then-FBI Director James Comey in April 2017, a decision that led to the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel.
Later, Trump’s first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, fired then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
