The investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged connection with the Russians by Special Persecutor Robert Muller is not a "witch hunt", FBI Director nominee Christopher Wray said today. "I do not consider Director Mueller to be on a witch hunt," he told Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing. In several of his social media outbursts, Trump has repeatedly described such investigations as a witch hunt. President Trump said in a televised interview, for example, I was going to fire Comey regardless of recommendation," the Democratic Senator said. The FBI Director nominee was critical of the Russians.
