Christopher Wray, an attorney with King & Spalding, was tapped by President Trump to lead the FBI.
I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow.

I’m sure the announcement’s timing is completely coincidental to James Comey’s testimony beginning on Thursday. Right?
Wray has an office in D.C. and Atlanta. CNN erroneously referred to King & Spalding as a D.C.-based law firm which would be news to the law firm’s HQ in Atlanta. Wray has strong credentials with the DoJ leading the criminal division under President George W. Bush.
