President Trump has repeatedly called the special counsel investigation into potential coordination between his campaign and Russian election interference efforts a witch hunt.
On Wednesday, his nominee to lead the FBI, Christopher Wray, indicated that he does not agree. I do not consider Director Mueller to be on a witch hunt, Wray said under questioning by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
During the hearing, Wray revealed his willingness to disagree not just with the president but with his predecessor James Comey, who he criticized for holding a press conference last summer on the investigation into Hillary Clintons e-mail server even though no criminal wrongdoing was proven.
I cant imagine a situation where I would give a press conference on an uncharged individual, he said. I cant think of a time where anyone in the FBI, much less a director, provided derogatory information about uncharged individuals.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called it stunning that former FBI Director James Comey would publicly discussed his findings in the Hillary Clinton email probe as a result of Russian intelligence that Comey knew to be false.

I cant imagine a scenario where its OK for the FBI director to jump in the middle of an election based on a fake email generated by the Russians and not tell the Congress, Graham said Sunday on CNNs State of the Union.
