No, Trump’s FBI director nominee Christopher Wray does not sell lamps
A luxury British lighting company got a hit of free publicity on Wednesday after Donald Trump tapped a man named Christopher Wray as his new FBI director.
People searching for “Christopher Wray” online found the business – named Christopher Wray Lighting Emporium.
Wait, what?
The new FBI director sells Victorian lights in London?
Apparently the next FBI direction will be a dead British lighting magnate. https://t.co/hQ7VdP3Mfv https://t.co/2mAE6pN27r
