Retiring FBI chief: Critics claim to like "independence and objectivity" until it hurts them

^{Published on 2025-01-12 21:00:37 - MSN}

Retiring FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a "60 Minutes" interview airing Sunday that he's retiring early because he didn't want to thrust the "deeper into the fray" after facing intense criticism from President-elect Trump.

The article discusses the retirement of FBI Director Christopher Wray, who has faced criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Wray, appointed by former President Donald Trump, has been accused by some Republicans of being part of a "deep state" conspiracy against Trump, particularly highlighted by the FBI's actions during the investigation into Russian election interference. Conversely, Democrats have criticized the FBI under Wray for perceived biases, especially in relation to investigations involving political figures. Wray, in his comments, emphasized the importance of the FBI's independence and objectivity, noting that critics often appreciate these qualities until they conflict with their own interests. He also highlighted the FBI's efforts to adapt to new threats like cybercrime and domestic terrorism, while defending the integrity of the bureau's work against political attacks. Wray's tenure has been marked by efforts to restore public trust in the FBI amidst these controversies.
