(Washington D.C.) Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) calls on FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate to accept accountability for their failed leadership at the Bureau.
In a letter sent today to Director Wray, Grassley detailed how Wray has “failed in [the] fundamental duties as director.” These failures include:
Grassley says President Elect-Trump has clarified that he wants to be the new FBI director.
Grassley mentioned the following reasons why is calling on FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate to accept accountability for their failed leadership at the Bureau.
*Subjecting President Trump to a continuing double standard, including an invasive and unwarranted FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
*By contrast, the FBI under Wray’s leadership Sat on bribery allegations against then-Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and Provided an inexplicable and unnecessary briefing to Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), which was leveraged to smear their investigation into the Biden family’s financial connections as Russian disinformation.
*Refusing to provide information to Congress on sexual misconduct at the FBI, despite public pledges to do so; Refusing to provide information to Congress on Afghan evacuee vetting.
*Refusing to provide information to Congress on the FBI’s “Richmond memo,” which pegged faithful Christians as violent extremists; and Neglecting to ensure the protection of whistleblowers and suspending or revoking security clearances in retaliation for reporting waste, fraud or abuse.
