Joe Lieberman “no longer being considered” for FBI Director
Former Senator Joe Lieberman dropped out of the running for FBI director, according to multiple news reports.
Lieberman was believed to be the frontrunner for the nation’s top law enforcement job.
One potential complication being reported is that President Trump hired Marc Kasowitz as his private attorney to deal with the federal investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election, and Lieberman has been working as a senior counsel at Kasowitz’s law firm for several years.
Former FBI Director James Comey was dismissed by President Trump on May 9, 2017.
