Former President Donald Trump voiced his displeasure with FBI Director Christopher Wray during a recent interview on "Meet the Press," criticizing Wray's actions and alluding to potential changes in leadership. Trump specifically referenced the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago residence, expressing strong disapproval and mentioning ongoing legal action related to the incident. He also pointed to rising crime rates and border security concerns as areas where he felt Wray's performance was lacking.

Trump, who appointed Wray during his first term, highlighted his intention to nominate Kash Patel as FBI Director. This announcement signals a potential shift in leadership should Trump return to office. He further emphasized his dissatisfaction with Wray's handling of certain matters, including an incident he referred to cryptically. Trump expressed respect for the FBI as an institution but noted a perceived decline in its reputation in recent years.

Trump's comments suggest that a change in FBI leadership would be a priority if he were to regain the presidency. He indicated that Patel would likely replace Wray in that scenario. Wray's current 10-year appointment began in 2017, and while he could choose to resign, he has not publicly stated any such intention. Should Trump dismiss Wray, it would be a historically significant move, marking a rare instance of a president replacing two FBI directors during their tenure.

Beyond the discussion of FBI leadership, Trump also addressed his supporters and those who did not vote for him, pledging to treat all Americans equally and emphasizing his commitment to national success and security.
