NEW FBI CHIEF WRAY CONFIRMED

The Senate has confirmed Christopher Wray to lead the FBI, replacing James Comey, who was abruptly fired by President Trump amid the probe into Russian meddling in the presidential election.

The vote was 92-5 for Wray, 50, a former official in President George W Bush’s Justice Department who oversaw investigations into corporate fraud.

“This is a tough time to take this tough job,” Senator Amy Klobuchar said.
