White House aides are fearful FBI Director Christopher Wray will quit his post in the standoff over the release of a controversial memo about the Russia probe – leading to yet another tumultuous turnover in the administration. Wray has raised pointed concerns about the release of the memo, drafted by Rep. Devin Nunes and staff for the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee. President Trump is poised to cast those doubts aside and release the memo. That could push Wray to the resign, although he has not threatened to do so, CNN reported, citing multiple aides concerned Wray may walk over the blowup. Trump has already indicated he favors release of the memo – despite extraordinary public pushback by the FBI and internal lobbying by his own Justice Department.
