President Barack Obama plans to nominate James Comey as director of the FBI, administration officials said Wednesday. Comey is a Republican and former deputy attorney general under George W. Bush. The nomination is a signal of bipartisanship from Obama, who has had difficulty seeing his nominees confirmed, and is likely to garner support from both parties in the Senate.
The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is appointed by the President by and. with the advice and consent of the Senate. The statutory basis for the present nomination and. confirmation process was developed in 1968 and 1976, and has been used since the death of J. Edgar Hoover in 1972.
