FBI Director Christopher Wray has no plans to resign, a bureau official said, as President Donald Trump and his supporters step up demands for the release of sensitive files that they say will show “spying” on Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Wray is serving a 10-year term that began in 2017 and doesn’t plan at this time to step down, according to the FBI official who spoke on condition of anonymity. However, Trump could fire him at any time and for any reason, as he did his predecessor, James Comey.
