Christopher Wray sworn in as FBI director

7:48 AM    
The installment of a permanent head of the

bureau comes less than three months after President Trump fired former FBI director James Comey, setting off a tumultuous search for his replacement.
Acting Director Andrew McCabe had led the bureau since Mr. Comey’s departure. Justice Department leaders initially looked for a temporary replacement for him as well.
Several politicians were considered for the job, including former Sen. Joseph Lieberman and Sen. John Cornyn, before the president settled on Mr. Wray.
The Senate confirmed Mr. Wray Tuesday in a 92-5 vote. Lawmakers praised the former federal prosecutor, saying they believed he could stand up to an political pressure or attempts to interfere in FBI investigations.
