Just one day earlier, Trump would not say during an exclusive interview with The Hill if Wray has his backing.

“Well, we’ll see how it turns out,” the president said when asked about his level of confidence in Wray.

Trump’s refusal to give a public endorsement to Wray had sparked rumors the FBI director may be on the outs.

During the Monday interview, Trump reiterated that he and the FBI director “disagree” over whether there was improper spying on his campaign during the 2016 election.

“I mean, I disagree with him on that and I think a lot of people are disagreeing. You may even disagree with him on that,” Trump said.

Wray told senators during a hearing last month that he would not use the term “spying” to describe the bureau’s surveillance of Trump campaign advisers as part of the Russia investigation, a stance at odds with both the president and Attorney General William Barr Bill BarrHillicon Valley: Subpoenas for Facebook, Google and Twitter on the cards | Wray rebuffs mail-in voting conspiracies | Reps. raise mass surveillance concerns Bipartisan representatives demand answers on expired surveillance programs YouTube to battle mail-in voting misinformation with info panel on videos MORE.
