President-elect Donald Trump expressed his satisfaction with FBI Director Christopher Wray's announcement of resignation at the end of President Joe Biden's administration. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that Wray's departure signifies a positive development for America, as it marks the end of what he referred to as the 'Weaponization' of the United States Department of Injustice. Trump expressed his confusion over Wray's actions, emphasizing the need to restore the Rule of Law for all Americans.
Trump also mentioned his anticipation for the confirmation of Kash Patel, whom he intends to nominate for the FBI director role. Patel, in a separate statement, conveyed his readiness to serve the American people from day one and assured a smooth transition process.
It is noteworthy that Trump had nominated Wray for the FBI director position following the dismissal of the previous director. Despite Wray having three years left in his 10-year term, Trump has put forward Patel as his nominee for the role. Patel has been actively engaging with senators to garner support for his confirmation vote scheduled for the upcoming year.
