President Trump blasted Wray Thursday night and accused him of protecting Antifa!
“And I look at them as a bunch of well funded ANARCHISTS & THUGS who are protected because the Comey/Mueller inspired FBI is simply unable, or unwilling, to find their funding source, and allows them to get away with “murder”. LAW & ORDER!” Trump said in a tweet.

Trump also slammed Wray for claiming Russia is meddling in the election and ‘denigrating Joe Biden.’
“But Chris, you don’t see any activity from China, even though it is a FAR greater threat than Russia, Russia, Russia. They will both, plus others, be able to interfere in our 2020 Election with our totally vulnerable Unsolicited (Counterfeit?) Ballot Scam. Check it out!” Trump tweeted.
