FBI Director Wray defends the ‘real FBI’ against criticism

WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director Chris Wray defended
the “real FBI” during a contentious congressional hearing
Wednesday, rejecting a litany of grievances from angry
Republicans who are harshly critical of the bureau,
threatening to defund some operations and claiming the
Justice Department is unfair to political conservatives,
including Donald Trump. Wray refused to engage in
specific questions about ongoing federal investigations,
including those involving former President Trump and
Hunter Biden. The son of President Joe Biden recently
reached an agreement to plead guilty to misdemeanor
federal tax charges; Republicans have derided that as
a sweetheart deal. In testy exchanges with Republicans
on the House Judiciary Committee, Wray rejected the
GOP assertion that the bureau was favoring the Biden
family and said the notion that the bureau was involved
the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was “ludicrous.”
Referring to his own background, he said the idea that he FBI Director Christopher Wray is sworn in before testifying at a House Committee on the Judiciary
harbors bias against conservatives is “insane.” oversight hearing, Wednesday, July 12, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
