President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced on Twitter his pick for FBI director — a former Justice Department official who served as New Jersey Gov. Trump's early-morning two-sentence tweet that he intends to nominate lawyer Christopher Wray. He has absolute integrity and honesty, and I think that the president certainly would not be making a mistake if he asked Chris Wray to be FBI director," Christie said. That investigation has been folded into an open-ended inquiry helmed by special counsel Robert Mueller, who was Comey's predecessor as FBI director. Nominations for FBI director require confirmation in the Senate.
