Lieberman, an ex-Democratic senator and former candidate for vice president who changed his affiliation to Independent, had been considered a frontrunner for the post, The New York Times reported.
And shortly before leaving on his current foreign trip, Trump said he was "very close" to selecting someone to fill the position that became vacant when he fired Comey.
But, according to the Times, Trump's staff had urged him to take more time in making the decision.
And now Trump has decided he want a broader range of candidates for the post, CNN reported.
Trump is retaining the services of lawyer Marc Kasowitz to help navigate the investigations into his campaign, The Washington Post reported.

I HOPE Trump was just punking the media and the Democrats by floating Lieberman’s name.
The Democrats quickly pounced on Lieberman calling him an extremist. Now Trump can pick someone conservative and accurately state that it was clear that the Democrats would call anyone he picked an extremist.
Oh! That would deserve goose bumps. He’s a LAW ENFORCER! and the left would be up in arms (only natural)
I trust the President will make a great pick.
One the Dems will like to oppose but will have difficulty opposing.
It was a classic Trumpian head fake. Sure did twist a lot of panties.
McCain’s buddy ?
under consideration????????????????????????????
NEVER in a million years would he be seriously considered.
So many of you are sooooooooo gullible.
exactly, Trump was talking about Joe, just not Joe Lieberman!
I have no idea, but the Sheriff is the outsider’s outsider and would really stir things up in a way that would be great for this country. Investigations would commence that would have the political klass stunned and running scared...just my .02...

You’re such a tease...
Optics. Trump threw a crumb to the opposition.
Too old and too left.
LOL!! Heidi Klum for FBI Director! She's tough!
Lieberman was the Goron’s running mate. Immediate disqualification, game over. I don’t think he ever was a serious consideration for FBI director.
right you are!
phrase shamelessly taken from the movie “Dodgeball - a true underdog story”
He would have been great; but he's 84 years old.
That’s good news...Thank God!
Here in Texas we’d say he’s stirring the hornet’s nest.
Frankly, I’d like to see a few asses stung.
Pleasant looking, young enough (married with three children), non-political, non-controversial.....good bet....(although the Left will find fault with the eventual pick even if he or she is Goody-Two-Shoes).
Plus, McFeeley has the Scotch/Irish "Mc" in his name like Trump's mother, Mary Ann MacCleod, LOL.
Leni
IIRC McFeeley withdrew his name from consideration the other day citing family concerns.
