"According to a report from Axios, Donald Trump is reportedly angry with FBI Director Christopher Wray for staying silent on the recent revelations in the Michael Flynn case and would like to dump him.

The report, from Jonathan Swan, notes the president is being restrained from another firing by close aides and Attorney General Bill Barr.

“Trump’s dissatisfaction with Wray — whom he nominated for the post in 2017 after firing Jim Comey — is nothing new,” Swan wrote. “A source who has discussed the FBI director repeatedly with the president said Trump ‘has never felt like Wray was his guy’ and does not trust him to ‘change the culture’ of the FBI.”

The report goes on to note, “Trump was especially angered by what he views as Wray’s reluctance to publicly criticize actions taken by Comey and by Wray’s relatively muted reaction to the FBI’s misconduct in seeking the surveillance of Trump campaign associate Carter Page.”"
