(Washington Times) Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani on Friday downplayed rumors that he could eventually replace FBI Director James B. Comey, saying his plan is to stay in the private sector.
“There [will] be a lot of speculation. … I’ll let you know if I change my mind, but I haven’t changed it,” Mr. Giuliani said on Fox Business Network. “I’m staying in the private sector.”
Fox Business reported this week there is speculation within the FBI that Mr. Giuliani could at some point be tapped to replace Mr. Comey, the bureau’s current director.
