Christopher Wray, the current FBI Director, is expected to retire before Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration. Wray, who was appointed by Trump in 2017, initially received significant praise from the former president, who described him as an 'impeccably qualified individual' and a 'model of integrity.' However, Trump's ongoing criticism of Wray during his presidency has led to speculation that Wray would be replaced upon Trump's return to office. The FBI director's role typically carries a ten-year term, but Wray's departure may come after seven years in the position.
