President Trump suggested Sunday that the Department of Justice may be investigating former FBI Director Christopher Wray, criticizing his handling of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and labeling his actions “inappropriate.”
The comments came three days after former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements to Congress and obstructing its investigation.
Trump repeated claims, that the FBI secretly placed 274 plainclothes agents in the Capitol crowd during the riot.
Wray, who was appointed by Trump and resigned under the Biden administration, previously testified that FBI sources had no role in orchestrating the violence and defended following facts over politics, Axios has reported.
Trump denied having a “list” of enemies to prosecute but suggested other officials could face scrutiny, while Wray’s representatives did not comment.
