Comey To Remain FBI Director

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- President Donald Trump has asked FBI Director James Comey to stay on the job, according to CBS News.

Unlike Cabinet officials, Comey was not expected to depart at the end of former President Barack Obama's tenure.

"In fact, he has publically made it known his strong commitment to the job," said CBS News Senior Investigative Producer Pat Milton.

FBI directors have 10-year terms, and Comey's is set to run through 2023.
