Wray is not being nominated "in place of" James Comey, he is being nominated as his replacement. In place of implies that James Comey is also in the running. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:C68C:A300:2D42:19DF:3B95:1951 ( talk) 15:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

About Wray's birthday, although the cited DOJ site says it is 1967, but there's a congress hearing document ( https://www.congress.gov/108/chrg/shrg92548/CHRG-108shrg92548.pdf, PAge 861) has clear info that he was born on Dec. 17, 1966 in New York. Please consider this update. Songc2017 ( talk) 15:02, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Some added he is republican with no ref. I understand these types of positions are non-partisan. Several times Comey has been praised on CNN for being someone you can't tell which party he supports. Therefore I'd expect this subject should be similarly non-partisan given their Justice Dept record. Legacypac ( talk) 05:37, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

A lot of newsworthy events regarding Chris Christie and Wray's relationship. Thinking a section dealing with prominent associations would be in order.
"Christie and Wray have a long relationship. When Wray was head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, he worked with Christie, who was U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, on an investigation into an accounting scandal at drug-maker Bristol-Myers Squibb. The company agreed in 2005 to pay $300 million as part of a deferred prosecution agreement."
and the transcript of hearing https://www.c-span.org/video/?430949-1/christopher-wray-pledges-strict-independence-fbi-helm&start=16102
On the cspan, 4:28 mark, a single question regarding Christie.
Further cite for relevant info for article inclusion;
"Wray has at least an indirect connection to Rosneft, one of Russia’s state-controlled oil companies, whose murky relationship to Trump interests remained to be exposed to public view. Rosneft is a King & Spalding client (although the law firm deleted the page from its website). And Rosneft has a pending multi-billion-dollar oil deal with Exxon, whose former CEO Rex Tillerson is now Trump’s secretary of state. So here’s a pending deal from which Trump, Tillerson, Wray, and others stand to benefit directly. The Russian-Trump electoral collusion trail may well be littered with Russian oil money.
Wray has the same indirect connection to Gazprom, another Russian state-owned oil company and client of King & Spalding (page deleted from website). Gazprom was part of the case Wray handled for the American executive caught in a Russian investigation (that Wray later deleted from his bio). Gazprom’s relationship to Wray and Trump is murkier than Rosneft’s, but includes connections to Carter Page, Paul Manafort, Richard Burt, a Gazprom-owned pipeline bypassing Ukraine, and possible lifting of sanctions on Russia."
'When New Jersey governor Chris Christie was accused of deliberately closing the George Washington Bridge as an act of political revenge, he was still a Republican presidential hopeful. To survive the scandal that came to be known as Bridgegate, Christie needed serious help, so he hired Christopher Wray as his personal defense attorney (at $340 an hour), costing New Jersey taxpayers more than $2 million. Although two of Christie’s aides were convicted, Christie was not even indicted and avoided having to testify at their trial. During Bridgegate, Christie’s cell phone disappeared, despite efforts of legislators and other investigators to examine it for evidence of Christie’s involvement. When the cell phone did turn up, Christopher Wray had it, for unexplained reasons. When Christie’s aides subpoenaed the cell phone for their defense, a federal judge ruled that Wray did not have to give it up. According to legal opinion, Wray’s apparent withholding of evidence is considered nothing more than zealous representation of his client."

As stated above, please remove this or get a credible reference to a public evidence about his party registration. And he was based on past contributions, no public evidence has emerged he still is. Remove it, please. Archway ( talk) 10:44, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
While Wikipedia editors are most welcome to change the date formats from 14 September 2017 back to September 14, 2017, it truly is an exercise in futility, and do you not have better things to do with your time? Furthermore, if you are going to change them, then be sure to change *ALL* of them to be consistent. 74.94.188.109 ( talk) 12:34, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Trump signaled uncertainty over the future of FBI Director Christopher Wray a day after the Justice Department decided to drop criminal charges against Michael Flynn. Speaking to Fox News, Trump said “the jury’s still out” on Wray and the bureau’s handling of the Flynn investigation. “It’s disappointing,” Trump said when asked about Wray’s role. “Let’s see what happens with him.” Trump also praised Attorney General William Barr for nullifying the case by Mueller, in which Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in 2017 about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the 2016 presidential transition.
