After Comey firing, search is on for new FBI director

Jared Kushner to head search; Tiffany Trump id’d as #1 candidate

Within hours of Donald Trump’s firing of FBI director James Comey, White House officials confirmed that a search for his successor is already underway.

Sources indicate that the president has chosen his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to head the search. Kushner, who already has a full plate of responsibilities including Mid-East peace envoy, special envoy to Iraq, head of the White House Office of American Innovation, solving America’s opioid epidemic, reforming the VA, reforming the criminal justice system and the primary point of contact for presidents, ministers and ambassadors from more than two dozen countries including, importantly, Mexico and China, already has a number one candidate in mind.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer, in a press briefing, said that the President has spoken to Kushner about whom he favors for the job.

“The president made it very clear to Jared that he would like his other daughter, Tiffany, to be the next FBI director,” Spicer told the press corps.

Questioned by NBC’s Hallie Jackson about Tiffany’s qualifications for the job, Spicer replied, “President Trump believes that she is incredibly qualified and will be the best FBI director ever. Isn't that enough? Look, Tiffany wants to be a lawyer and is about to enter Georgetown University law school. Eric went to Georgetown and look how great he is. And not only that, the job of FBI director fulfills one of Georgetown's pre-entry requirements -- to have a lawyerly internship. Also, but maybe most important, it allows the president to finally find her a job in the administration."
