We will now restore the Rule of Law for all Americans.”
“Under the leadership of Christopher Wray, the FBI illegally raided my home, without cause, worked diligently on illegally impeaching and indicting me, and has done everything else to interfere with the success and future of America,” he continued. “They have used their vast powers to threaten and destroy many innocent Americans, some of which will never be able to recover from what has been done to them.”
Trump continued, writing that Kash Patel, whom Trump plans to appoint for the place when he takes workplace, is the “most qualified” to steer the FBI as a result of he’s “committed to helping ensure that law, order and justice will be brought back.”

We want our FBI back, and that will now happen. I look forward to Kash Patel’s confirmation, so that the process of Making the FBI Great Again can begin. Thank you!”
Wray nonetheless had three years left in his 10-year time period, however after Trump introduced that he would nominate Patel for the place, Wray introduced he would resign.
“I’ve decided the right thing for the bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in January and then step down,” Wray advised FBI staffers.
