White House press secretary Jen Psaki holds briefing on President Biden's first full day in office.
RELATED:
President Joe Biden will keep Christopher Wray as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a source familiar with the administration’s plans confirmed to USA TODAY.
Wray, appointed by former President Donald Trump in 2017 after he fired James Comey, is in his fourth year of a 10-year term.
CNN first reported Biden’s intentions to retain Wray, a move that was widely expected. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was noncommittal whether Biden would keep Wray during her first press briefing Wednesday night. She said she hadn’t spoken to Biden about the matter.
Ahead of the presidential election, FBI agents in October voiced their support for Wray, warning Trump and Biden, then the Democratic nominee, that his untimely removal could "undermine stability" within the federal government's premier law enforcement agency.
The unusual action by the FBI Agents Association, representing 14,000 active and retired agents, came as Trump was weighing a number of key staff changes after the election, including the dismissal of Wray.

Just a normal press conference without lies.
🤣🤣🤣 non answers = truth? ooook
No more energy independent hope ya life $5 a gallon gas 🤣🤣
@CTresident sometimes the correct answer is I don’t have an answer right now. That’s integrity. Trump famously made up answers when he didn’t know. That’s stupidity.
I know somebody did not just cough lol I mean I know they are wearing masks but still
Breath of fresh air
Dr Fauci is alive 😁 and so is science 🎉
Weird, he didn’t say anything about injecting lysol 😜
@Stéphane Baribeau Thank goodness!
….and the two are at odds!
😂
@Stéphane Baribeau flip flopping fauci? never watched the compilation videos of him flip flopping on nearly everything? oh my
Thank you dr Fauci.
One of the new thing about this administration : if you don’t know the answer, don’t guess 😂 well said mister Fauci 😁
His face was priceless. Said everything. I would like his clip to analyze by “Body language ghost”.
time code?
Hahaha…”If you don’t know the answer, don’t guess..just say you don’t know the answer..chuckle “ LOL!
That was awesome! 👍❤️
Trump used Fauci too.
Not all bad news. People dying of old age and the flu have totally ended.
@Pursuit of Truth In what world was that the takeaway you got from this?
If there is vaccines just sitting on the shelfs going to waste. Then is it going to be used by others that’s not in the group aloud ? I think its better in someone’s arm then in the trash.
Right now everybody is Out of vaccine!!!
He looks so much more happier. Lol. Wonder why?
This one time at band camp….
The covid vaccine should be monitored and delivered by military personnel to make sure that they are being distributed and given to the correct people according to CDC regulations and not given to medical family members that are NOT high priority.
You take it! It is a Trojan horse! 666
I’m just grateful for a sign language interpreter at these briefings.
Pr Trump is GREAT….IF NO HIM WHO CAN STOP CHINA….THANK 📯🇺🇸💪 4 years he changed our wolrd 🙏🙏🙏
Welcome to Chinamerica!!😂😂
I miss Kayleigh!!! Brains and beauty. This new thing has neither.
This one has natural beauty no artificial eye lashes, inappropriate clothes, and lies after another lies.
@Shahla Karimi she looks like carrot top, and can barely utter anything besides “umm ummm”. Just like sleepy joe 😂😂
Looking forward to another day of watching these amateurs pretend – with MSM scrambling to maintain a failed narrative that they aren’t. I’m looking forward to watching this MORE than the Ltards. By the end of four years, I bet most will actually be showering daily and talking out issues rather than burning down cities.
Swamp puppet from Chinese Overlords.
soft balls for joe, who would have thought? gotta go easy on old joe, hes so frail
Painful. Cringeworthy. Anyone else feel like they need a shower after just watching. Yuck yuck yuck.
Emperor XIDEN, but you killed 500 Americans from covid your first day on the job. How are you helping?
