Trump demands FBI director resign instead of ‘sweet talking Congress’ on Biden – Washington Examiner
Former President Donald Trump called for FBI Director Christopher Wray’s resignation after Wray’s testimony to Congress about the investigation into an attempt on Trump’s life and President Biden’s mental acuity. Trump criticized Wray’s response about Biden’s cognitive state and demanded his resignation. Trump’s comments were made on the social media platform Truth Social. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “FBI Director Christopher Wray is a disgrace to the bureau and should resign immediately. His handling of the investigation into the attempted assassination on my life was pathetic, and his refusal to acknowledge the cognitive decline of President Biden is inexcusable. Wray has lost the confidence of the American people and must step down before he causes any more harm to our nation’s security.”
The former president’s remarks come after Wray testified before Congress about the FBI’s investigation into a plot to assassinate Trump during his presidency. Wray confirmed that the bureau had thwarted the attempted attack but did not provide details about the suspects or their motives.
Additionally, during the hearing, Wray was asked about President Biden’s mental acuity, to which he responded that he had not seen any evidence to suggest that Biden was unfit to serve as president. Trump and his supporters have been critical of Biden’s cognitive state and have repeatedly questioned his ability to lead the country.
It remains to be seen how Wray will respond to Trump’s call for his resignation and whether there will be any further fallout from the former president’s comments on Truth Social.
Trump demands FBI director resign instead of ‘sweet talking Congress’ on Biden
Former President Donald Trump demanded that FBI Director Christopher Wray resign after his testimony to Congress on Wednesday.
Wray testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee, mainly speaking on the investigation into the assassination attempt on Trump’s life but also giving his perspective on President Joe Biden’s mental acuity. Trump mainly had a problem with the last point, viewing it as grounds to call for Wray’s resignation.
“I watched the Congressional Hearing today as Christopher Wray was asked the question whether or not he noticed any Cognitive Degeneration in his many conversations with Crooked Joe Biden and, despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Hur said, effectively, that Joe Biden is INCOMPETENT, with LITTLE MEMORY, etc., Wray said that ‘it is not something I observed during my interactions with him, which were uneventful and unremarkable,’ essentially stating that he found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with ‘Joe,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop ‘sweet talking’ Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI – Unless, that is, you want to illegally lead the Raid on Mar-a-Lago,” he added, reviving his complaints over the FBI raid on his residence in August 2022. “Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!”
During the hearing, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) pressed Wray on Biden’s mental fitness. The FBI director said all his encounters with and briefings to the president were “uneventful.”
Wray spent much of the hearing giving details about the investigation into the assassination attempt on Trump, revealing that attempted assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, had researched the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy about a week before.
