FBI/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Trump will interview two more candidates for F.B.I. director on Tuesday [5-30-17] as he resumes his search for a replacement for James B. Comey, who was dismissed earlier this month, the White House said.
Mr. Trump will meet with Christopher Wray, a former assistant attorney general overseeing the criminal division under President George W. Bush, and with John S. Pistole, a former deputy F.B.I. director who began under Mr. Bush and was later made director of the Transportation Security Administration under President Barack Obama.
Mr. Trump has been interviewing a number of candidates, but one of his leading choices, former Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, pulled out of consideration after Democrats raised objections.”
