Former President Donald Trump has called for FBI Director Christopher Wray’s resignation following Wray’s congressional testimony. Trump claims Wray is hiding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. On Truth Social, Trump criticized Wray for allegedly downplaying Biden’s mental health issues and accused him of lying to Congress. Trump emphasized that Wray’s inability to recognize Biden’s cognitive problems disqualifies him from leading the FBI.
During the House Judiciary Committee hearing, Representative Matt Gaetz questioned Wray about Biden’s mental fitness. Wray described his interactions with Biden as “uneventful” and “unremarkable,” suggesting no cognitive issues. Gaetz pressed Wray on whether he had noticed any decline in Biden’s capabilities, highlighting the president’s limited alert hours from 10 AM to 4 PM. Wray confirmed briefing Biden during various times, but noted no significant issues.
Trump’s demand for Wray’s resignation stems from his belief that Biden’s decision not to seek re-election indicates an inability to serve. Figures like Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance have echoed these concerns, calling for Biden to resign based on his cognitive health.
Trump’s accusations and Gaetz’s questioning underscore ongoing doubts about Biden’s ability to effectively govern, adding pressure on Wray and further fueling the debate about Biden’s fitness for office. As the political landscape heats up, Trump’s assertions are likely to intensify scrutiny on both Biden’s health and Wray’s leadership at the FBI.
