President-elect Donald Trump ripped FBI Director Christopher Wray over the weekend during an interview while discussing his new nominee for the role, Kash Patel.
Trump made the remarks during an interview that aired Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker.
Trump said that Patel is “going to do what he thinks is right” and that he supports Patel going after anyone who is a “crooked or a corrupt politician.” He added that he does not expect Patel to go after his political enemies.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: If they think that somebody was dishonest or crooked or a corrupt politician, then I think [Kash Patel] has an obligation to investigate it.
WELKER: Are you going to *direct him* to do it?

He said that he would not direct Patel who to go after and that the justice system will run well as Patel works with U.S. Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi.
When asked about Wray, Trump said that he was not “thrilled with him” because “he invaded my home.”
“He invaded Mar-a-Lago,” he said. “I’m very unhappy with the things he’s done, and crime is at an all-time high. Migrants are pouring into the country that are from prisons and from mental institutions, as we’ve discussed. I can’t say I’m thrilled.”

“And then when I was shot in the ear, he said, ‘Oh, maybe it was shrapnel,'” Trump continued. “Where’s the shrapnel coming from? Is it coming from — is it coming from heaven? I don’t think so. So we need somebody to straighten — you know, I have a lot of respect for the FBI, but the FBI’s respect has gone way down over the last number of years.”
NBC: Will you fire Christopher Wray?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “It would sort of seem pretty obvious that if @Kash_Patel gets in, he’s going to be taking somebody’s place, right? That somebody is the man you’re talking about.” pic.twitter.com/dYQwfx5l5O
