FBI Director Wray Testifies on Trump Assassination Attempt

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee, facing intense scrutiny over the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Wray assured lawmakers that the FBI would leave 'no stone unturned' in investigating the incident, which is being treated as an act of domestic terrorism. The attack at Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, resulted in one death and two serious injuries. Wray's testimony follows the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, criticized for security lapses during the event. The hearing also addressed broader issues, including alleged political bias within the FBI and the handling of security clearances for whistleblowers. Despite partisan tensions, Wray emphasized the FBI's commitment to uncovering the motive behind the shooting by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who had planned the attack meticulously, including drone surveillance of the rally site.
