July 12 (UPI) -- Christopher Wray, a former assistant attorney general who works as a private firm lawyer, will testify before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on Wednesday as part of his FBI director confirmation process.
The Senate hearing located in Room 226 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m.
Wray worked in the Department of Justice during President George W. Bush's administration from 2003 until 2005. He led the department's criminal division and oversaw major fraud investigations, including the Enron Task Force.
For about 12 years, Wray has been out of public service and in private practice. He worked in litigation as a partner for the King & Spalding law firm in the firm's offices in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta prior to the nomination.
President Donald Trump in early June said he would nominate Wray after he fired former FBI Director James Comey.
