FBI Director Christopher Wray shut down inquiries Wednesday from House Republicans about what the bureau knew about key events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — including improper federal surveillance and an unsolved case involving unexploded pipe bombs placed outside political party headquarters.
In a heated Judiciary Committee hearing, GOP lawmakers noted that millions of illegal Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act authorizations that have occurred on Wray’s watch, while the person who planted the bombs outside the Democratic and Republican National Committees has eluded justice for more than 900 days.
“How many illegal FISA queries have occurred under your leadership of the FBI?” asked Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), before cutting Wray off to cite an inspector general’s report that found millions of warrantless searches via Section 702 authorization were conducted on Americans in 2021.
A Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruling from last year that was unsealed in May identified 278,000 incidents of improper FBI searches on both Jan. 6 riot attendees and those involved in the George Floyd riots of 2020.
