President Trump said Friday that “the jury’s still out” on FBI Director Christopher Wray following the collapse of the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
During an appearance on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” Trump was asked about Wray’s role in the ongoing reviews of the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election.
“It’s disappointing,” Trump said.
“Let’s see what happens with him. Look, the jury’s still out.”
Trump also said Thursday that “I hope a lot of people are going to pay a big price” over the Flynn case, adding, “They’re scum.”
Pressure on Wray mounted earlier this week, when Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee demanded that he reveal when he “personally knew of the FBI’s misconduct” in the Flynn probe.
The retired three-star Army general was attempting to withdraw a guilty plea for lying to investigators about his contacts with a Russian official when the Justice Department on Thursday abandoned the prosecution.

Flynn has denied intentionally lying to the FBI.
