Jan. 24 (UPI) -- James Comey told his top agents he has been asked by President Donald Trump to stay on as FBI director, sources familiar with the matter said.
Comey, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2013 to serve a ten-year term, can be dismissed by Trump. While presidents typically keep FBI directors for their full terms, the FBI's involvement in the 2016 presidential election made Comey's place in the Trump administration uncertain.
