The incoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee delivered a “vote of no confidence” in FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday in a letter accusing him of politicizing the agency against President-elect Donald Trump.

Across 11 pages, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said that Wray, appointed in 2017 to replace James Comey, had run the agency no differently than his predecessor, comparing the 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago under Wray to the Russia investigation that prompted Trump to fire Comey.
