Trump keeping Comey as FBI head: report
President Trump has decided to keep James Comey on as director of the FBI, The New York Times reported Tuesday morning.
Comey faced heavy criticism during the presidential campaign from both sides of the aisle for his treatment of the investigation into Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of State.
FBI directors are appointed to 10-year terms to limit the political pressure on their position. Comey's began in 2013 under President Obama, but Trump has the power to dismiss Comey if he wants.
