FBI Director Christopher Wray and Donald Trump's team are planning for the president-elect to potentially replace Wray in the new administration, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Former President Trump on Wednesday called on FBI Director Christopher Wray to resign, accusing him of lying to Congress about President Biden's mental competency.

What he said: In a post on his Truth Social platform, President Trump said Ray's reaction showed there was “nothing wrong with Joe, mentally or physically.” said.
