Trump not happy with FBI Director Christopher Wray following unsealing of documents in Flynn case: Report
President Trump is growing increasingly sour on FBI Director Christopher Wray but is unlikely to remove him from his post before the November election, according to a new report. Trump "would love to replace" Wray, three sources told Axios this week, but the president has been deferring to Attorney General William Barr on matters of Justice Department staffing. New revelations in the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn have sparked Trump's renewed frustration with Wray, the outlet reported.
Documents that were unsealed last week showed top FBI officials discussed whether the goal of an interview with Flynn was to “get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired” under previous director James Comey. The documents showed former FBI agent Peter Strzok blocked the FBI from closing its investigation into Flynn after the agency found no "derogatory information" in early January 2017. Trump seized on the news, calling Comey and other leaders in the federal law enforcement community at the time "dirty, filthy cops." "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,'" Axios reported. Wray has hesitated to criticize Comey and other FBI officials who are often the target of Trump's ire. "Actions described in this report that [he] considered unacceptable and unrepresentative of who we are as an institution," Wray said last year in reaction to a department inspector general report finding a litany of improper procedures Comey's FBI conducted while investigating Trump and his associates. "[It is] important that the inspector general found that, in this particular instance, the investigation was opened with appropriate predication and authorization."
