Donald Trump lashed out at the FBI for not backing up his claims of voter fraud, complaining that “some have served many presidents” and saying he was disappointed that they hadn’t “caught” anyone.
“Why isn’t the FBI everywhere?” he said Sunday morning, in his first televised interview since the election.
“They aren’t. They aren’t, and it’s a terrible thing.”
The president told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that he felt the FBI was “missing in action.”
He added: “I can’t tell you where they are. I ask them if they are looking at it, they all say yes. ”
Trump speculated that some members of the FBI were working against him.
“I know the FBI and it’s great at the level that we talk about,” he said.
It is inconceivable. You would think this is the most important thing they could see. They just keep going. They have been there a long time. Some have served many presidents. All I can say is that no one has come to see me and told me that the FBI has caught … the FBI is looking at Dominion. “
The president has a particularly contentious relationship with current FBI chief Christopher Wray, whom he appointed to replace James Comey in June 2017.
At the time, Trump called Wray “an impeccably qualified individual,” citing his role in major fraud investigations and counter-terrorism efforts in the Justice Department after the 9/11 attacks.
“I know that he will once again serve his country as a fierce guardian of the law and model of integrity once the Senate confirms him to lead the FBI,” Trump said in the statement.
