WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the Senate hearing on Christopher Wray’s nomination as FBI director (all times local):
9:45 a.m.
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley is signaling his support for President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director.
Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, says Christopher Wray has an “impressive legal career” and seems qualified for the demanding job of leading the nation’s top law enforcement agency.
Grassley says it’s vital for the FBI director to be independent. And he says Wray’s record shows he is committed to independence.
