Under Wray, we never found the pipe bomber, but we did manage to find out who used an ATM within blocks of the Capitol Building on January 6.

NBC News reports:

FBI Director Christopher Wray and Donald Trump’s team are planning for the possibility that the president-elect will replace Wray during the new administration, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.

One person under consideration for Wray’s job is Trump adviser Kash Patel, who is also being considered to lead the CIA, according to two other sources.

Trump campaigned in part on the idea of cleaning house at an FBI he has claimed is full of politically motivated and corrupt executives. He has frequently criticized Wray over the years, though not nearly as much as he has gone after other officials at the Justice Department, which oversees the FBI.

…

In July, Trump demanded Wray resign “NOW” after he testified before Congress that Trump’s ear injury from the attempt on his life that month might not have come from a bullet.
