FBI Director Christopher Wray testified at a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on Thursday morning. He defended the FBI against Trump’s scorched earth tweets attacking the institution’s corrupt leadership and refused to answer many key questions.
Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) asked the FBI Director if the Hillary-funded garbage dossier was used to spy on Trump’s camp and Wray refused to answer.

Christopher Wray “demures” then says he can’t answer because of the ongoing investigation.

.@RealDonaldTrump should be concerned about FBI Director Wray. He punted on the ethics crisis engulfing the FBI (see below) and is Dr. Stonewall with Congress and @JudicialWatch on corruption docs. https://t.co/CbcFtB0sbl
