Stephen Colbert Has A ‘Fitting’ Explanation For Christopher Wray’s FBI Departure

“America’s top law enforcement officer is timing his resignation to coincide with the end of law,” joked the “Late Show” host.

Wray announced his plans to step down prior to the end of his 10-year term after Trump shared his controversial plans to nominate loyalist Kash Patel to the position.

Colbert said the news “doesn’t come as a shock” as Trump has indicated his plans to fire Wray.

“And that’s not surprising. The president-elect has had it out for Wray ever since Wray was appointed by a man who nearly destroyed Trump’s political career, Donald Trump,” he joked of Trump’s pick to replace former FBI Director James Comey in 2017.
