Former President Donald Trump acknowledged that it was “probably” a mistake to appoint Christopher Wray, who has been accused of protecting President Joe Biden's family, as the head of the FBI.
"Sadly, it probably was," Trump said in an excerpt released Friday when the host asked him if it was a mistake for him to put Wray in charge of the FBI.
"You know, he was recommended very strongly by Chris Christie, who is, you know, a sad case," Trump said.
Trump, who rarely acknowledges making an error, made the remarks at a time when the FBI, under Wray’s leadership, has been subject to continuous criticism from Republicans, including fromthe former president himself.
Trump then went on to criticize Christie for his low poll numbers in the GOP presidential primary, highlighting that the former New Jersey governor typically receives minimal support in the single digits.
