FIRST ON FOX:<\/strong> House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, signaled he is not finished with his oversight of FBI Director Christopher Wray\u2019s handling of the bureau, even after the intelligence official announced he was<\/a> stepping down.<\/p>\n

Jordan said Wray\u2019s resignation was “great” news and lambasted his handling of the FBI in comments to Fox News Digital on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“I mean, Chris Wray was, you know, investigating moms and dads who show up for school board meetings. He was putting out a memorandum on saying, \u2018If you’re a pro-life Catholic, you’re an extremist.\u2019 The FBI retaliated against whistleblowers who came and gave us that kind of information. We learned yesterday that they were spying on congressional staffers and their metadata. And of course, he raided President Trump’s home<\/a>,” Jordan said.<\/p>\n

Wray previously denied targeting pro-life activists. He also defended the FBI\u2019s handling of a Department of Justice (DOJ) memo raising alarms about conduct at school board meetings, though he said last year that there was “no compelling nationwide law enforcement justification” for the directive to be issued.<\/p>\n

Jordan has made no secret of his thoughts on Wray\u2019s leadership, overseeing multiple inquiries by<\/a> the House Judiciary Committee into his leadership.<\/p>\n

When asked by Fox News Digital if that oversight will continue, Jordan said, “Oh, yeah.”<\/p>\n

“And there’s, we think, reports coming that are going to, you know, shed even more light on what’s been going on down line from the from the inspector general,” Jordan said.<\/p>\n

He also praised President-elect Trump\u2019s new nominee to lead the FBI, Kash Patel.<\/p>\n

Fox News first reported Wray\u2019s intent to resign seven years into his 10-year term earlier on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trump\u2019s pick to replace him had already been meeting with senators for days ahead of an anticipated confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n

“After weeks of careful thought, I\u2019ve decided the right thing for the Bureau\u00a0is for me to serve until the end of the current Administration in January and then step down. My goal\u00a0is to keep the focus\u00a0on\u202four mission \u2014 the indispensable\u00a0work you\u2019re doing\u00a0on behalf of the American people every day,” Wray told FBI colleagues. “In\u00a0my view, this is the best\u00a0way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing\u00a0the values\u00a0and principles\u00a0that are so important\u00a0to how we do our work.” \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jordan told Fox News Digital he was not surprised at Wray\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

“I mean when the president nominates someone to replace you, you\u2019ve got to go, man,” Jordan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
