james: i compared chris wray's background in detail with the seven previous fbi directors. what really stands out in that comparison is not only that here , ahave a very nice guy patrician lawyer whose father , he hasll street lawyer no law enforcement experience to speak of. he's come from a goldplated existence. that's what we really need now -- the senate vote is understandable. what is otherwise striking about his comparisons, chris wray spent the last 12 years, 70% of his entire legal career defending white-collar corporations, mainly banks. when i first ran across his representation in the context of the 2014 plea bargain with credit squeeze in which he was representing this giants with guiltyhich was pleading to corporate felony for having taked 22,000 americans their money abroad and avoid taxes -- he was basically spending -- this is unprecedented for a white color defense lawyer -- white-collar defense lawyer to be head of the fbi. it is a good example of state capture by the banking lobby. for defending banks like hsbc and deutsche bank and credit suisse, all of

chris wray to talk about charlottesville. attorney general has been unmistakably clear that they have launched a federal investigation there and will not tolerate these groups and they have no place in america. there will be a crackdown. he said they'll pursue the toughest charges they possibly can with everyone involved with what happened in charlottesville and the president returns to washington today with that first and foremost on his plans for meetings today. and the attorney general hinted that we may hear from the president again. so as you and ed have been discussing this may be a chance for him to be more clear, be more bold about his statement in a way that people would like to see that he is unmistakable in calling out these groups for what they are and saying they have no place within this administration or this country. after a broader statement saying condemning all the hatred and violence and bigotry in charlottesville. maybe a chance for him to speak to his critics who want to hear something more specific. >>

the president met with his attorney general jeff sessions and the head of his fbi new director chris wray spoke about what happened at that white nationalist rally, the president coming under serious fire from both sides of the aisle including republicans for why he did not specifically call out white nationalists, white supremacists, neo-nazis by name. you heard backlash growing from republicans as i take a look at our screen to see if and when the president will walk out sometime in the next couple of minutes. the condemnation came because people wanted the president to be more forceful and explicit and already today we've seen some real world fallout from that. the head of one company merck has withdrawn from his manufacturing council because he wasn't more explicit on saturday. this is an opportunity essentially for the president to in the eyes of his critic get it right the second time. we have heard his top advisers including the attorney general, including his vice president mike pence say what the president did not. but right now i think the eyes of the nation are waiting to see i

like, when he tweeted out of nowhere the appointment of his new fbi director christopher wray who was chrise's attorney in the bridgegate scandal. politico reported that inside the administration there was little initial support for wray. after talking extensively with christie, trump decided to go with wray without telling others on his staff. the most shocking thing about that story is the fact that trump still talks to chris christie. [ light laughter ] and christie doesn't even have his phone number. when he wants to get in touch with donald trump, he just closes down a beach. [ laughter and applause ] now trump's new chief of staff, john kelly, is apparently taking a lead in trying to control trump's twitter feed. and the first step, apparently, is understanding why trump tweets the way he does. politico talked to several trump advisers and this is how those advisers described trumps tweeting habits. the bursts often come, advisors say, when trump is frustrated with his staff or news media coverage or just wants to buck everyone and do it his way. he also will marvel at how quickly his

and more recently, working with pearly and the above information, benjamin wray and chris gist of the university of virginia applied a computerized analysis program, which certainly didn't exist in 1997, to the area's topography and determined that proctor's ledge is the thing you can see, not the summit. so now the city is landscaping the park land on proctor's ledge, the correct site. and will tend to better preserve the place in order to honor the bravery and suffering of the 19 people put to death there. the hope is that the location will be treated respectfully by visitors who will likewise respect the privacy and peace of the site's living neighbors. so there's been a long tradition about that spot that connects us all to the all-too-real tragedies that happened there. traditions that have at last been proven by science and archival research. and that's not yellow antiquarianism. thank you.

>> chris, the president has put very responsible people in charge in the department of justice. sessions, rachel brandt, christopher wray and others that will be joining us soon. i can assure you that we will do the right thing and follow the rule of law. but the president can order the justice department to do things and he says what it appears a prosecutor should be doing is looking at hillary clinton, do you view that as an order? >> no chris, i view with the president is publicly something is it publicly. if he wants to give orders to us in the department he does it privately. and then if we have any feedback we provide it to him. >> and can you tell me whether or not he has given you an order? >> i will not. but as a he did not ask us to investigate particular people. that would not be right and it is not how we operate. >> and some other issues. let's turn to the department crackdown on illegal immigration. the attorney general sent a letter this week to four cities struggling with gun violence. -- unless they cooperate with immigration officials. how do you respond to people that say the solution here which is to

chris. >>> let's go to immigration, one of the big stories today. and this is the wray's act that trump and two republican senators were touting together. tell us about it. >> basically, what they're trying to do is reorganize -- actually, completely overhaul the way that the u.s. accepts immigrants. they want to base it on what canada does. there the majority of immigrants, legal permanent residents that come into the country there, they're admitted based on economic ties. based on their ability to contribute to the canadian economy. in the u.s., it's the opposite. the majority of people that are allowed into the country are based on family ties. so think about somebody coming to the u.s., they get to sponsor their parents, children, spouses, brothers, sisters. and what trump and these senators want to do is completely go towards that canadian system, where we allow people to come in based more -- where we test them first, to see what their education is like and what their potential contributions are to the economy. >> all of this comes after this piece in the "post," an
