Trump blames Chris Christie for hiring Christopher Wray as FBI director.
Former President Donald Trump Blames Chris Christie for FBI Director Appointment
In an upcoming interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, former President Donald Trump opens up about his decision to appoint Christopher Wray as FBI director. Trump admits that it was a mistake, but clarifies that he only did so because of the strong urging of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
“Yeah, sadly. It probably was,” Trump answered when asked if hiring Wray was a mistake. “It was recommended very strongly by Chris Christie, who was, you know, a sad case. I mean, I watch him. He’s a sad case.”
Trump then takes the opportunity to launch an attack on Christie, who has been critical of the former president since their split in 2020.
“Well, I know. And you know how he’s doing. He’s at 1%, and he probably won’t even make the debate stage. Now, Chris is a … he’s sad. I mean, I watched him the other day. He said I built 47 miles of wall. I’ve built over 500 miles of wall. And that’s homeland security statements. I had the safest border in the history of our country. I built massive miles of wall and was going to put up another 200 miles. Everything was built. They just had to erect [it],” Trump continued.
Christie has confirmed in the past that Trump hired Wray based on his recommendation and has stood by his decision.
“I was one of the people who recommended Christopher Wray to President Trump, and I’m proud to have done so, and I think he’s done a very good job,” Christie said last week on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.
