WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump is considering nearly a dozen candidates to succeed ousted FBI Director James Comey, choosing from a group that includes several lawmakers, attorneys and law enforcement officials.
White House officials said Friday the president was moving expeditiously to find an interim FBI director along with a permanent replacement for Comey, who was fired Tuesday. Four candidates—Texas Sen. John Cornyn, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, attorney Alice Fisher and judge Michael Garcia—have interviews scheduled Saturday.
