Federal Times: Christopher Wray, a white-collar defense lawyer with a strong law enforcement background who represented New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the Bridgegate scandal, was announced Wednesday as President Donald Trump's pick to head the FBI.
In an early morning two-sentence tweet, Trump said he intended to nominate Wray, a high-ranking official in George W. Bush's Justice Department. That word came one day before the FBI director that Trump fired last month, James Comey, was to testify in public on Capitol Hill for the first time since his dismissal.
Trump, in a statement later Wednesday, called Wray "an impeccably qualified individual."
