Russia / Trump probe "is not a witch hunt", says new head of FBI

The lawyer Donald Trump picked to lead the FBI has declared he does not believe a special counsel investigation into possible co-ordination between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign is a "witch hunt".
Christopher Wray, the former high-ranking Justice Department official whom Mr Trump nominated last month, also told senators at his confirmation hearing that he would never let politics get in the way of the bureau’s mission.
