Trump Likely to Replace FBI Director Wray and Deputy Director Abbate Amid Leadership Change

Nov 8, 2024, 08:00 PM

Donald Trump, poised to reclaim the White House, is likely to replace FBI Director Christopher Wray, who was appointed by Trump seven years ago and received bipartisan praise at the time. Despite the FBI director's 10-year term, Trump's repeated criticism of Wray raises the likelihood of a leadership change at the FBI. Sources indicate that both Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate have little chance of remaining at the bureau by the time Trump is sworn into office.
