The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a confirmation hearing next Wednesday for Christopher Wray, President Donald Trump's pick to be the next FBI director.

Wray’s confirmation hearing is almost certain to revive a number of hot-button political issues, including the FBI’s investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow, Trump’s dismissal of James Comey and Comey’s controversial handling last year of the Hillary Clinton email probe.


Senators also are likely to ask tough questions about Wray's ability to maintain independence from Trump.

The hearing comes as Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is raising questions about whether acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe has conflicts of interest.
