On the eve of former F.B.I. director Comey’s testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Trump tweeted that he will nominate Christopher Wray, former federal prosecutor and current criminal defense lawyer, as the new F.B.I. director.

After leaving the D.O.J., Wray became Gov. Chris Christie’s personal attorney, representing the governor during the Fort Lee lane closure scandal, nicknamed Bridgegate.

We look to what’s ahead for Wray. What’s the confirmation process? How will he be received in the Senate, and if he becomes director, the F.B.I.?
