FBI Director Christopher Wray will face a Thursday grilling from Senate Republicans about whistleblower claims that the bureau improperly labeled evidence about Hunter Biden as disinformation in 2020.
Wray, who has led the FBI since 2017, is appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he will face criticism about the handling of the investigation into President Joe Biden’s son, likely along with a host of questions about how the FBI is handling the Capitol riot investigation, rising crime, national security threats, and more.
“I expect him to answer on how he’s going to stop political bias at the FBI,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, tweeted this week, adding in a video that “I would expect Wray to come up with some concrete program where he’s going to be able to tell the 22 members of this committee what he’s going to do to take political bias out of the investigations that the FBI is doing.”
The senator sent a letter to Wray last week asking for more details about an Aug. 2020 briefing on alleged Russian influence efforts that he says were pushed on him and then leaked to the press to hurt his investigation into the president and Hunter Biden. Whistleblowers revealed to him recently that FBI officials were undercutting or burying facts about the younger Biden around the same time.
