The Justice Department will interview four candidates for FBI director on Saturday, according to a report published Friday evening.
Top Justice officials are scheduled to sit down with acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe; Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas; former U.S. Attorney in Manhattan and New York state judge, Michael Garcia; and former Justice Department Criminal Division Chief Alice Fisher.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are expected to carry out the interviews Saturday afternoon, Politco reported.
