As FBI Director Chris Wray plans to resign, Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton expressed concerns about President-elect Donald Trump's intentions to remove Wray from his position. Moulton stated that Trump sought to dismiss Wray because he believed Wray was upholding the law, which clashed with Trump's view of being above the law.
Moulton highlighted Trump's alleged desire to politicize the FBI, drawing parallels to the era of J. Edgar Hoover where the FBI operated with a lawless agenda. He warned that such actions could lead to the FBI being used as a tool to persecute Americans rather than uphold the law for all citizens.
