Members phkrause Posted July 13, 2023 Author Members Posted July 13, 2023 ? Wray fights back FBI Director Christopher Wray went toe-to-toe with his fiercest critics in Congress today, testifying before a Republican-led House Judiciary Committee that has accused his agency of weaponizing law enforcement. Why it matters: Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) yesterday unveiled a detailed roadmap for using the budget to target federal law enforcement policies reviled by conservatives. Highlights: On alleged "weaponization": "The idea that I'm biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me, given my own personal background," Wray, a registered Republican appointed by Trump, told the committee. On the Hunter Biden probe: Wray refused to comment on the ongoing investigation but pushed back on assertions by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) that he was "suspiciously uncurious" about alleged wrongdoing by the Bidens: "The FBI has no interest in protecting anyone politically," he said. On Trump's indictment: Wray again declined to speak in detail about the investigation into the former president's handling of classified documents but offered a veiled criticism: "In my experience, ballrooms, bathrooms and bedrooms are not SCIFs," he said, in reference to sensitive compartmented information facilities.
