CNN: Trump lashes out at FBI chief Wray for embracing watchdog report
President Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out at FBI Director Christopher Wray after the man he chose to lead the bureau backed the findings of an inspector general report that found the investigation into Russian election interference was properly launched.
"I don't know what report current Director of the FBI Christopher Wray was reading, but it sure wasn't the one given to me. With that kind of attitude, he will never be able to fix the FBI, which is badly broken despite having some of the greatest men & women working there!" Trump wrote.
Trump's morning tweet suggested he's lost confidence in Wray, who he appointed in 2017. But officials at the White House said they did not believe Trump was prepared to fire him because his decision to dismiss his first FBI director, James Comey, resulted in the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.
