All eyes are on the US Senate this morning as former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired by President Trump, testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election and Russian collusion with the Trump Campaign.
Comey’s written testimony can be viewed here, or you may watch the hearing live here.
This morning President Trump tweeted that he intends to nominate Christopher Wray to replace James Comey as FBI director. Wray served in the George W. Bush administration as assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division. More recently and in the private sector, Wray represented New Jersey Governor Chris Christie during the “bridgegate” scandal.
