Trump meets with two additional candidates for FBI director

President Trump will meet Tuesday afternoon with two additional candidates who could potentially replace former FBI Director James Comey.

Trump, picking up where he left off with his search for a new FBI chief, invited former Transportation Security Administration (TSA) chief John Pistole, and former head of the Justice Department’s criminal division under former President George W. Bush, Chris Wray, to the White House for consideration.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters at his first press briefing since the president’s overseas trip that the candidate meetings will continue until Trump finds the “right leader.”

“The president will be meeting two additional candidates this afternoon- Chris Wray and John Pistole,” Spicer said. “He’ll meet candidates today, and will continue to do so until he finds the right leader.”
