FBI Director Christopher Wray issued the below statement following his swearing-in by Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice today:

It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as Director. I long ago grew to know and admire the FBI from my earliest days as a line prosecutor to my years as assistant attorney general. I am excited, humbled, and grateful, therefore, to have this chance to work side-by-side again with these fine professionals for the good of the country and the cause of justice.
