President Trump announced Wednesday that he would pick Christopher Wray, a former Justice Department official who also has represented New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, to lead the FBI. Trump called Wray "a man of impeccable credentials" and promised that details of the announcement would follow. The use of Twitter to make the high-profile announcement solidified the social media tool's role as Trump's primary mode of public communication, despite some concern from fellow Republicans. Trump insisted defiantly this week that Twitter remains his best tool to deliver unfiltered news to his supporters.
