Trump Demands FBI Director Resign Over Comments on Biden’s Cognitive Health

Former President Donald Trump has called for FBI Director Christopher Wray to resign following Wray's testimony before Congress that he has not noticed any cognitive decline in President Joe Biden. The comments were made during a House committee hearing where Wray was questioned by Republicans about various issues, including Biden’s mental fitness.

Key Points:

• Wray, appointed by Trump in 2017, testified that he has not observed any cognitive issues in his interactions with Biden.

• Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) pressed Wray on whether he found Biden unfit during their briefings, to which Wray responded negatively.

• Trump, in a Truth Social post, condemned Wray’s statements, asserting that Biden's cognitive and physical challenges are evident and questioning Wray's capability to lead the FBI.

Trump's remarks came after Wray stated, “I don’t meet with him very often, but what you’re describing is not something that I’ve observed during my interactions with him,” responding to Gaetz’s inquiry about Biden’s cognitive state. This sparked immediate backlash from Trump, who accused Wray of "lying to Congress."

In his post, Trump wrote: “I watched the Congressional Hearing today as Christopher Wray was asked the question whether or not he noticed any Cognitive Degeneration in his many conversations with Crooked Joe Biden and, despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Hur said, effectively, that Joe Biden is INCOMPETENT, with LITTLE MEMORY, etc., Wray said that ‘it is not something I observed during my interactions with him, which were uneventful and unremarkable,’ essentially stating that he found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with ‘Joe.’”

Trump further stated, “If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop ‘sweet talking’ Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI – Unless, that is, you want to illegally lead the Raid on Mar-a-Lago. Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!”

This controversy follows Biden's recent announcement that he is ending his re-election campaign amid increasing pressure from Democrats and media scrutiny. His decision came after a debate with Trump where he appeared exhausted, fueling ongoing concerns about his cognitive state.

Earlier this year, Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents highlighted Biden’s cognitive issues. In his February report, Hur mentioned that Biden might present himself to a jury as a sympathetic elderly man with poor memory, making it challenging to convict him of any serious charges.

While Biden has decided to conclude his campaign, he plans to complete his first term. The White House maintains that his decision is unrelated to health concerns. Biden is expected to address the nation about his decision soon.
