“I believe that the FBI is engaged in investigative activity and part of investigative activity includes surveillance activity of different shapes and sizes,” Christopher Wray said during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has split with Attorney General William Barr on the controversial notion of “spying” on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, telling Congress, “That’s not the term I would use.”
“When FBI agents conduct investigations against alleged mobsters, suspected terrorists, other criminals, do you believe they're engaged in spying when they're following FBI investigative policies and procedures?" she asked. FBI Director Christopher Wray testifies during a House Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee hearing on the FBI’s Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2020, on Capitol Hill, on April 4. On Tuesday morning, appearing before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Wray said he would not use the term “spying” to describe surveillance on Trump’s 2016 campaign.
The allegation immediately earned praise from President Trump, who told reporters after the hearing that Barr was doing a “great job.”
