FBI Director

"Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you're upset with," FBI Director Christopher Wray said.

What of the FBI's raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home can we be certain of, and what's just hearsay? Newsweek Fact Check dives in.

"We are concerned that, with developments in Afghanistan—among other things—that there will be more inspiration," FBI Director Christopher Wray said.

Christopher Wray said that he considers human trafficking a "modern form of slavery."

Former CIA and FBI Director William Webster wrote that President Donald Trump calling FBI professionals "scum" was a "slur against people who risk their lives to keep us safe" in a New York Times opinion piece Monday.

The president said FBI Director Christopher Wray would "never be able to fix" the agency following his response to the Inspector General's report released yesterday.

"Make no mistake the FBI working with our state and local law enforcement partners is all over this," Wray said in reference to white supremacist violence.

"The former highest ranking employees in his bureau committed real crimes, and yet no signs that Wray seems to care one bit to bring them to justice, or working to prevent this abuse of power hyperpartisan conduct from ever, ever happening again," Hannity said on Monday.

"It seems that individuals in the Justice Department at the highest levels who seem to state the facts and the law as they exist seem to not do well," said former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Elliot Williams.

"Russia is in many ways, fighting to stay relevant after the fall of the Soviet Union," the FBI head argued. "They're fighting today's fight," he said, while pointing out that China makes decisions with the future in mind.

"I thought about the Ramsey Rapist every night before I went to bed for five years," the former FBI director said.

The FBI had previously confirmed the existence of the drafted statement.

Speaking at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, Wray also made comments about the Las Vegas mass shooting.

Only one day passed between Christopher Wray's Senate confirmation and swearing-in. For his predecessors, the process took on average 26.8 days.

Trump tweeted in July: "Problem is that the acting head of the FBI & the person in charge of the Hillary investigation, Andrew McCabe, got $700,000 from H for wife!"

Wray enters the FBI at a fraught time for the Justice Department, following Trump's criticisms of Attorney General Sessions and acting FBI Director McCabe.

The favorable recommendation was expected as more than half of committee members had publicly expressed support for Wray.

Christopher Wray will no longer be making millions of dollars if confirmed as FBI director.

Twitter users said they could relate to Comey's account of being trapped by a powerful, demanding man.

The former FBI director dunked relatively recently, and he might be gearing up for another attempt pretty soon.

The website for Columbia Law School professor Daniel Richman says he "is currently an adviser to FBI Director James B. Comey."

There were a combination of factors that made him want a written record: "the circumstances, the subject matter and the person I was interacting with." 

The former FBI director will speak about his interactions with Trump, including how the president demanded loyalty and made other requests.

The Senate Intelligence Committee published the former FBI director's opening statement a day before he is scheduled to testify.

The ads, which echo Trump's criticism of the sacked FBI director, come from one of Donald Trump's biggest donors during the election.

The lawyer worked in the Bush-era Justice Department and if confirmed, will replace James Comey.

Comey is to testify Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating alleged links between Donald Trump's team and Russia.

Donald Trump is interviewing John Pistole and Christopher Wray to potentially take over the bureau.

A week ago, Trump had said Lieberman was a top pick to replace James Comey.

On May 18, Trump said he would nominate a new FBI director "very soon."
