FBI Director Wray faces grilling from House Republicans

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee grilled FBI Director Chris Wray Wednesday about the alleged “weaponization” of law enforcement agencies against former President Donald Trump and conservatives and accused the FBI of failing to aggressively go after the Bidens.

Democrats on the panel pressed Wray about Trump’s involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and the former president’s mishandling of classified documents for which he has been charged.

With the focus quickly turning to the critical 2024 election, lawmakers in both parties on Wednesday attempted to use Wray’s high-profile appearance on Capitol Hill to score political points and beat up the opposing party. The fiery hearing lasted for nearly six hours.
