Wray confirmation..
Christopher Wray, a former high-ranking official in George W. Bush's Justice Department, was confirmed to a 10-year term. His confirmation wasn't in doubt: Democrats changed Senate rules in 2013 to only require a simple majority vote, which Republicans have with their 52 seats.
All Republicans voted in favor of Wray's nomination, who was officially confirmed in a 92-5 vote just after 5 p.m. Eastern time.

Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, also voted in favor of Wray after praising him during his confirmation hearing.
