The Justice Department will interview four candidates for FBI director on Saturday, according to a report published Friday evening.
Top Justice officials are scheduled to sit down with acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe; Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas; former U.S. Attorney in Manhattan and New York state judge, Michael Garcia; and former Justice Department Criminal Division Chief Alice Fisher.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are expected to carry out the interviews Saturday afternoon, Politco reported.
McCabe was deemed acting director following James Comey’s termination on Tuesday. Justice officials spoke with possible interim FBI directors earlier this week though only current Justice personnel or Senate-confirmed appointees are allowed to take over interim slots.
Comey had been appointed to a 10-year term but was fired three and a half years into it. His successor will also receive a 10-year appointment to the nonpartisan job.
