Lazy President was tired of searching of a nominee, so he decided to just twitter it out...
For example, advisers believed for days that Trump was likely to pick John Pistole as FBI director. Inside the administration, three officials said, there was little initial support for Christopher Wray, the former FBI official who was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christies attorney in the bridge-closing controversy. No one really was pushing for Wray, one senior administration official said.
After talking extensively with Christie, who sold Trump on the former FBI officials bona fides as a lawyer, Trump decided to go with Wray without telling others on staff, advisers said. White House officials waking up to the tweet were startled, and hurriedly wrote a news release to correspond to it. Much of the presidents inner circle knew little about Wray. Trump was simply tired of the search, these people said.
