On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump called for the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray after the director testified before Congress that he had not observed any cognitive decline in President Joe Biden.
House Republicans questioned Wray on Wednesday regarding the assassination attempt on Trump that occurred earlier this month.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) also inquired about Wray’s interactions with Biden and whether he had observed the president’s cognitive abilities deteriorate during the hearing.
Trump criticized Wray, whom he had nominated to be the FBI director in 2017, in a post on Truth Social following the hearing.
“I watched the Congressional Hearing today as Christopher Wray was asked the question whether or not he noticed any Cognitive Degeneration in his many conversations with Crooked Joe Biden and, despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Hur said, effectively, that Joe Biden is INCOMPETENT, with LITTLE MEMORY, etc., Wray said that ‘it is not something I observed during my interactions with him, which were uneventful and unremarkable,’ essentially stating that he found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with ‘Joe,’” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop ‘sweet talking’ Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI – Unless, that is, you want to illegally lead the Raid on Mar-a-Lago. Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!” he continued.
Following a debate against Trump in which the president appeared physically and mentally exhausted, Biden announced on Sunday that he was concluding his campaign. This decision was made in response to weeks of pressure from the media and Democrats to step aside.
