Washington: US national security may be jeopardised if FBI Director Christopher Wray is abruptly removed after the presidential election, an association representing more than 14,000 current and retired special agents wrote in letters to President Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden.
Wray should be allowed to finish his 10-year term, which will expire in 2027, the FBI Agents Association wrote in the letters sent on Wednesday.

“This country needs stability in leadership of the Bureau during these challenging times, and creating upheavals at the Bureau after the elections can only undermine the goal of protecting the safety and security of our country,” the association said.
Trump, who picked Wray after firing FBI Director James Comey in 2017, has repeatedly refused to rule out firing him too.
