White House will not commit about FBI director on administration's first day Devlin Barrett, The Washington Post Jan. 20, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail WASHINGTON - The new White House press secretary dodged a question Wednesday about whether President Joe Biden has confidence in FBI Director Christopher Wray - a sign that the new administration was not willing to publicly commit on its first day to keeping him at the agency's helm. "I have not spoken with him about specifically FBI Director Wray in recent days," Jen Psaki said in response to a question posed at the Biden administration's first White House press briefing. Psaki gave similar replies to a number of unrelated questions, appearing to want to avoid making significant news outside of her prepared remarks about the series of executive actions Biden had taken moments earlier. She promised that there would be regular media briefings and that she would follow up with reporters on questions she could not answer.
