Sessions is interviewing candidates for interim FBI head
A Justice Department official says US Attorney General Jeff Sessions is interviewing candidates to serve as the interim replacement for fired FBI director James Comey.
Comey’s deputy, FBI veteran Andrew McCabe, has become acting director after Comey was fired by US President Donald Trump.
But a Justice Department official says senior leaders are interviewing additional candidates who could do the job until a permanent replacement for Comey is named and confirmed by the Senate.
An announcement about Comey’s interim successor could come as soon as Wednesday.
The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the selection process by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
