Democrats Disappointed in Wray’s Decision to Resign

Democrats on Capitol Hill say they’re disappointed that FBI Director Christopher Wray decided to resign instead of forcing President-elect Donald Trump to oust him when he returns to the White House next month.

“I think he should have forced Trump to fire him because by stepping down he sort of took the onus off Trump for breaking with the tradition and the policy of having FBI directors serve 10-year terms,” Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., a former prosecutor and House Judiciary member, told The Hill.

“Now there’s this precedent now for FBI directors stepping down when a new president comes in,” Ivey added. “And that’s not how this should work.”
