\nOne of President Donald Trump\u2019s most ardent critics said he was \u201cimpressed\u201d with Christopher Wray\u2019s confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee: Sen. Al Franken.
Mr. Trump\u2019s pick to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation navigated so well through over 4 hours of questioning by lawmakers on Wednesday that Mr. Franken gave him a rhetorical tip of the hat.
\u201cMr. Wray, I have been very impressed with our meeting. I\u2019 ve been impressed with your testimony here today, \u201d the Democrat from Minnesota said. \u201cYou\u2019 ve come here at a hard time. This is under very extraordinary circumstances, and I thank you for your willingness to take on this job, and looking around, I\u2019 m feeling that you\u2019 ve had a good hearing today, and best of luck to you.\u201d
Mr. Way said the compliment meant a lot to him.
Some inquiries fielded by Mr. Way revolved around Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s ongoing investigation of Russian interference into the U. S. presidential election, whether the agency is on a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d against Mr. Trump or his associates, and the appropriate response to an unlawful order.
\u201cMy loyalty is to the Constitution, to the rule of law and to the mission of the FBI, \u201d Mr. Way said. \u201cAnd no one asked me for any kind of loyalty oath at any point during this process, and I sure as heck didn\u2019 t offer one.\u201d<\/p>\n
