After saying the top health expert of the country was confused about vaccines, now the US President&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>&nbsp;is dissatisfied by his FBI Director&nbsp;Christopher Wray's statements on Russia.

Trump, on Friday, said he did not like Wray's answers after Wray openly talked about Russia's involvement in elections, and how the country still poses a threat for the US.

Accused of being funded by Moscow, Trump did not like the comments made by the Director and said,&nbsp;"I did not like his answers yesterday. I'm not sure he liked them either. I'm sure that he probably would agree with me."

When he was quizzed by the local reporters about the possibility of Wray getting fired — a practice Trump is infamous for since his reality show days — Trump said,&nbsp;"We're looking at a lot of different things."

Trump was unhappy with Wray's claims about the threats posed by the white supremacist groups. The President, who has often been accused of being a racist, felt Wray should have highlighted the dangers posed by China, rather than the domestic groups or Russia.&nbsp;"Within the racially motivated violent extremist bucket, people subscribing to some kind of white supremacist ideology is certainly the biggest chunk," Wray said in his testimony to Congress.

However, Trump wanted the Chief to talk about China. "Obviously China is at the top of the list. I see Russia, North Korea, many other countries, can be talked about. But China would be at the top of that list, so I don't know why that's not mentioned," Trump told reporters.

The US President, who is re-running for the upcoming&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/us-election">US elections</a>&nbsp;against <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>, was dissatisfied by Wray's lack of warning against China. Trumo has earlier been accused of having Russia interfere in the 2016 elections to manipulate his chances of winning the elections.&nbsp;His sudden dislike towards Wray has only strengthened the critics' views, especially weeks away from the upcoming US elections.

Talking about the&nbsp;anti-fascist group Antifa, Trump raised doubts about Wray's intentions for not mentioning the left-wing movement in the names that posed danger to the society. "Antifa's a bad group and they're criminals and they're anarchists and they're agitators and they're looters and rioters and everything else," he told reporters.

"They're bad. And when a man doesn't say that, that bothers me. I wonder why he's not saying that," he said of Wray.

"Why he doesn’t want to say that, that certainly bothers me."

Trump dislikes FBI Chief's statements on Russia's involvement in US elections

The US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee will subpoena former national security adviser Michael Flynn in its probe into alleged Russian meddling in the presidential election after he declined to appear before the panel, its top Democrat said on Wednesday.

&quot;We will be following up with subpoenas, and those subpoenas will be designed to maximise our chance of getting the information that we need,&quot; Representative Adam Schiff told journalists at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

The leaders of the US&nbsp;Senate Intelligence Committee said on Tuesday they would subpoena two of Flynn&#39;s businesses after he declined to hand over documents in its separate Russia probe.

The intelligence panels want Flynn to provide information on whether there was Russian interference in the 2016 US&nbsp;election and whether there was collusion between Donald Trump&#39;s campaign and Russia. Moscow has repeatedly denied the allegations and Trump denies any collusion.

Trump&#39;s young administration has been dogged by concerns about its ties to Russia and questions over whether Trump associates may have cooperated with Russians as they sought to meddle in last year&#39;s election on Trump&#39;s behalf.

Flynn, a retired general, is a key witness in the Russia investigations because of his ties to Moscow.

He was fired from his position at the White House in February, after less than a month on the job, for failing to disclose the content of talks with Sergei Kislyak, Russia&#39;s ambassador to the United States, and misleading Vice President Mike Pence about the conversations.

On Tuesday, former CIA Director John Brennan testified to the House intelligence panel that he had noticed enough contact between Trump associates and Russia during the 2016 campaign to justify an investigation by the FBI.

Brennan&rsquo;s confirmation of contacts between Russian officials and members of Trump&#39;s team, increased the pressure on investigators to determine whether the Trump camp colluded with the Russians.

Schiff said the House panel had invited its first group of witnesses to testify, it is obtaining documents, and assessing who will cooperate voluntarily, and who will have to be subpoenaed.

Financial Information

Schiff also said the committee was trying to obtain an audio recording of any conversation between Trump and former FBI Director James Comey, who Trump fired this month, or Comey&#39;s notes on his meeting with the president.

He declined to comment specifically on what financial information the committee was obtaining, but speaking in general terms, he noted that one tactic Russians use to influence foreign nationals is financial entanglement.

&quot;So we need to take a look at some of the financial issues to try to determine whether the Russians used money to try to entangle U.S. persons, as a way of influencing their conduct,&rdquo; Schiff said.

The intelligence panels are among several congressional committees looking into the allegations involving links between Russia and Trump&#39;s Nov. 8 victory. The U.S. Justice Department announced last week that former FBI Director Robert Mueller had been appointed special counsel to lead an independent probe of the matter.

Separately, a group of Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee, said on Wednesday they had asked Deutsche Bank to provide information on whether any accounts connected to Trump have ties to Russia.
