President Donald Trump on Sunday night suggested the Justice Department may be investigating former FBI Director Christopher Wray, just days after his predecessor and another Trump foe, James Comey, was indicted in Federal Court in Virginia for allegedly lying in a Congressional testimony.
Key Facts
In a phone interview with NBC NEWS on Sunday, Trump claimed Wray “did a terrible job and we just found out about it.”
Trump said it is “very inappropriate…what he did” and a lot of his service as the FBI head was “very inappropriate.”
The president then said, “Don’t forget, we just found out about all of these FBI agents being there,” appearing to allude to an unsubstantiated claim about hundreds of plainclothes FBI agents being present at the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 riots.
When asked if the DOJ should investigate Wray, Trump said he would “certainly imagine” that would happen, adding “would think they are doing that.”
Wray has not yet publicly commented on Trump’s allegations.
