73% Informative

Christopher A. Wray announced Wednesday that he would resign at the end of his 10-year term.

The FBI director will step down before President-elect Donald Trump takes office and can fire him.

Wray took over as FBI director in 2017 , appointed by Trump during his first term after he fired James B. Comey .

Wray has been viewed within the bureau as a steady presence, broadly regarded by career staffers as someone who understands how the bureau operates.

Trump and his allies criticized Wray and the FBI after agents conducted a court-approved search for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago , Trump ’s home and private club.

Wray said there were questions about whether “a bullet or shrapnel” struck the once-and-future president.

Wray’s comment enraged Trump and his supporters.

The FBI released a statement soon after saying Trump was indeed struck by a bullet or bullet fragments.
