Christie: Trump Should Stay Out of the ‘Law Enforcement Business’

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” when asked about what President Donald Trump should do about Russia meddling in U.S. elections, former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) suggested Trump stay “out of law enforcement business.”

Christie said, “The president should be staying out of law enforcement business. You know, I listened to the testimony of Director Wray, who is an outstanding FBI director in my view, giving testimony on Capitol Hill that they are very aware of what’s going on and if they’re going to bring the resources that are necessary to try to protect our electoral process in 2018.”

He continued, “And I’ve always thought that the best thing — as governor I felt this way, and I think the same rules apply to presidents — they should stay out of law enforcement activity, and I think that’s what the president will do, and I think he’ll leave it to Director Wray, the other folks at the Justice Department and our intelligence community to do what needs to be done to protect our electoral process.”
