Following release of a report that largely debunked allegations from President Donald Trump and other Republicans that the FBI was politically biased when it set out to investigate his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump has lashed out at his “current FBI director” and expressed concern that Christopher Wray would “never able to fix” the agency he runs.
In a Tuesday morning tweet, the President said both men seem to be reading different reports from the Department of Justice’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz.
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!
