HuffPost
The "Late Show" host said it's "not surprising" why the president-elect has "had it out" for the FBI director.
Stephen Colbert on Wednesday revealed why he thinks it’s “fitting” that FBI Director Christopher Wray has decided to resign from his post ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration.
“America’s top law enforcement officer is timing his resignation to coincide with the end of law,” joked the “Late Show” host.
Wray announced his plans to step down prior to the end of his 10-year term after Trump shared his controversial plans to nominate loyalist Kash Patel to the position.
The president-elect, who has threatened to imprison and prosecute his perceived enemies, has long criticized the FBI director following the agency’s search of his Mar-a-Lago estate for classified documents in 2022.
Colbert said the news “doesn’t come as a shock” as Trump has indicated his plans to fire Wray.
