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.

Why he was ever on the list is insane.
To my ping list. I told you this last week, that Joe was a diversion. The (possibly) real name will be very controversial, on both sides-—but far more on the left. I doubt we’ll get the nomination until Trump gets back from Europe, but I’m convinced that’s why Bannon and Priebus were sent back early-—to finish vetting (not much to vet, really) and to lay the groundwork.
The fact that Trump picked him, or considered him, in the first place, says a lot about Trump’s discernment. Doesn’t he know Lieberman is an anti-gun, anti-conservative?
Mark Levin wants to take away gun rights? I highly doubt that but if I’ve missed something then forgive me
Mark Levin is sick? (Other than being perpetually angry?)
One day your in and the next day your out.
OMG~ a man older than Trump.
We need an enforcer of law; NOT another political hack.
Good!!
It is impossible for a former Senator (Dem, no less) to be clean enough for this job!!
Now! There are lots of middle-aged-to-grey-haired-eminence lawyers in the MidWest who would qualify, likely even some ladies!!
Get MOVING!!!!!
Oh, you mean Rience didn’t come back early to get fired? (As ‘some have said’ and ‘others have speculated’ and ‘rumors were floated’, by a drive-by, around HERE!! :)
Thanks for the update.
I would love to see Trump deal Joe Pistone from the bottom of the deck.
That’s life!
Whoever it may be - we will be far better off than we’ve been in years. Just how for the agency has deteriorated since the age of Ness is shameful.
Thanks.
I wasn’t thinking Joe would get the nod, but then you never know until the nomination is revealed too.
I hope it isn’t too controversial for our side. We need someone who is straight laced and will get to the bottom of a whole bunch of criminal investigations.
Yep, he was Romneyed
Sheriff Joe...
TG
Figured they came back to help drain the swamp of leakers There has to be more than three in the cell !
“Joe gets the Romney treatment, and the press is left stumbling and mumbling trying to turn it into a crisis.”
That is exactly what I was thinking when Joe’s name came up. I think what President Trump was doing was showing how “wide open” he is to replacing the FBI Director.
Oh, I'm sure he was, and Romney is an excellent SoS. /s
