Christopher Wray just did exactly what FBI directors are not supposed to do.
Bowing to political pressure is precisely what FBI directors are not supposed to do.
Trump’s intense displeasure with Wray has been on full display for years, most recently on Sunday, when in an exclusive interview with host Kristen Welker on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” he falsely claimed that Wray “invaded my home” and that “crime is at an all-time high.” Violent crime is near record lows, and a court authorized the FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate because he retained and refused to return reams of classified documents he was not entitled to still have in his possession. The search is one of many grievances Trump had about the FBI during Wray’s tenure.
