Here's a look at possible Trump picks to replace Comey as FBI director

He has been with the FB1 for 21 years and has significant experience in counterterrorism and investigations of extremism.

However, McCabe has also come under scrutiny for his investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.

His impartiality came into question when he failed to recuse himself from the probe even though his wife, Jill, had strong ties with the Democratic Party. She received more than $675,000 in funding when she ran for a Virginia state Senate seat in 2015.

The FBI released a statement at the time saying he “played no role … in fundraising or support of any kind.”

However, during campaigning in Florida last year Trump said “the man who was in charge of the investigation of Hillary Clinton accepted essentially from Hillary Clinton $675,000 that went to his wife.”
