Christopher Wray was Governor Chris Christie’s lawyer during the Bridgegate matter.The Wall Street Journal reported:
President Donald Trump is tapping former Assistant Attorney General Chris Wray to serve as the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the president said in a tweet Wednesday morning.
Mr. Wray, a former senior Justice Department official who has since served as a white-collar defense lawyer, met with Mr. Trump late last month at the White House for an interview.
“I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI,” Mr. Trump. “Details to follow.”
The selection of Mr. Wray caps a month-long search that began in May after Mr. Trump fired then-FBI Director James Comey.
Mr. Wray has represented New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a top Trump ally, in the George Washington Bridge lane-closure controversy.
Wray reportedly gave $35,000 to the GOP candidates over the years.
