FBI Director Christopher Wray Announces Resignation Ahead of Trump's Term | 11 Dec 2024 | FBI Director [traitor] Christopher Wray confirmed the rumors on Wednesday, previewing his plans to resign ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's second term. According to the Washington Post, Wray -- who replaced anti-Trumper James Comey in 2017 -- made the announcement during a town hall with what the outlet described as the "FBI workforce." Wray maintained that his stepping down is the best option for the FBI as a whole. Wray's announcement follows a report from the Washington Times revealing that the FBI director did not want to be fired right before Trump comes into office, as the President-elect has already announced his nomination of Kash Patel for the position.
