 US interviewing four to replace former FBI chief

Washington 13 May (ANA) - The first interviews to find a replacement for fired FBI Director James Comey take place on Saturday. Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is among four people who will meet Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy Rod Rosenstein. But about 11 people in all are being considered, US media report. President Trump has faced a backlash for sacking Mr Comey, who had been investigating alleged Russian meddling in the US election. White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters the president would fill the job "as soon as he finds a candidate that fits the qualities that he feels are necessary". Fox News quoted a government source as saying they were moving "quickly and expeditiously" to find a replacement, adding: "We're doing our due diligence - we are not going to cut any corners." (ANA)
