director wray has requested a five minute recess. five minutes. >> if my i might quickly respond and then go to break. thank you. i understand why this is frustrating. i do. it is also the case that these policies that i am referring to about my inability to discuss ongoing investigations and certainly internal deliberations related to ongoing investigations are policies that have not only been in place for many years multiple administrations and both parties, but, in fact, these policies were strengthened under the last administration and that my predecessor was faulted in a fairly scathing inspector general's report for not following. >> you have an obligation to call it out. >>> this oversight hearing with fbi director, christopher wray, taking a brief break here is appearing before the senate judiciary committee. live coverage here on c-span3. >> the committee will resume. >> thank you, mr. chairman. all i can say is, it's good to have you back. director wray, you testified that no court has held that the fourth amendment applies

your thoughts on what you heard from christopher wray yesterday.d up its aggression against america. there targeting serious infrastructure in america. >> director wray is part of a long litany of national security leaders that are trying to tell americans how serious is this and what it amounts to china is preparing for war with united states of america. explain the and get in china's victory, their history and their structure and their general ambitions but also the fact that apparently now the going after the critical infrastructure which means ports, rail, water treatment, electrical grid and we had a series of very important hearings on the hill and that includes a director of the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency who said imagine not one pipeline but many pipelines disrupted telecommunication going down so people cannot use their cell phones and people get sick from polluted water, trains get the real. one hand are preparing to fight in the pacific and that's crystal clear. on the other hand there from databank of america's adv

what was different in what you heard from director wray today?> well, i think the first thing that's different is christopher wray is not a guy who is prone to overheated language. so if he delivers a direct and very clear statement of the threat, it's we're all doing the right thing by listening very closely to what he has to say. what's different about what china is doing now, for years, we watched china conduct malicious cyber activity that was directed primarily at our private sector, to steal data, to take technology, to benefit from our research and development, to try to prop up their economy. this is very different. this is a nation state seeking essentially military advantage over the united states, preparing the battlefield as it were in the event there is a conflict between our two nations, they want to be able to essentially turn out the lights in this country, to disrupt our transportation systems, our delivery systems of goods and services that are needed to support troops in the field and things of that nature, the delivery of fuel

>> good morning, director wray. i seem to always use our time together to go over old business and i apologize, but such is the responsiveness of the department. i wanted to talk to about charles mcgonagle today. he is an fbi agent who is interesting in two respects, he is pleading guilty or has pled guilty to his undisclosed receipt of $225,000 from a foreign national and he awaits sentencing for the crimes to which he pled, coming up in february and the second interesting thing is that he led the new york counterintelligence division during the time that it was widely reported that new york fbi agents and former new york u.s. attorney rudy giuliani were pressuring director james comey to intervene in the hillary clinton campaign. and do it damage. as we unfortunately no, director call me did, with press conferences that violated doj rules and procedures. so, my experience is that, when somebody is in the presentencing mode of a criminal plea, that is a very good time to get information from them and cooperation fr

these are all director wray's words. with an open border, it's obvious how and where foreign terrorist organizations would insert their fighters into our country. president biden's failure to secure the border means it's up to republicans to use any leverage we can, including his administration's desire to provide foreign aid to ukraine once and for all. regardless how anyone feels regarding support for ukraine and we are skeptical, we believe securing america's border and protecting our citizens should take precedence. a recent column stated that support for ukraine combined with, quote, modest immigration reform would be a win-win. with a president who actually wanted to secure the border and could be counted on to execute the laws that congress passes, that might be true. but unfortunately we have a lawless administration and a president who wants an open border. remember when the supreme court ruled that eviction moratorium was unconstitutional? president biden extended it anyway. they -- scotus also ruled that stude

we hear of christopher wray of the threats by chinese hackers. how many came through the border. >> how many threats do we need to do something significant about this. on this program a couple years ago we reported about the police stations right down the street from us here in new york city staffed with chinese nationals. basically the ccp can set up a police station in new york. that makes no sense. when you talk about everything else that christopher wray spoke about, we are allowing the ccp to set up various shops in our country for what purpose? just for fun? no, obviously there's a an ulterior motive. until we wake up, we'll be in a world of hurt. maria: i don't think the migrants who beat up nypd are chinese, however, we're talking about a wide open border where we're looking at terrorists on the terrorist watch list getting apprehended. >> think about the prevailing attitude in the democratic party to treat the migrants like someone stealing a loaf of bread for a dying baby. these are not family units. if they're coming over with kids, th

i noticed it came up a couple of times at your hearing with director wray and other top intelligence officials last week. the committee has endorsed some kind of action on tik tok, a ban or a forced sale. what's the path forward for that in legislation. do you see that potentially happening this year? >> potentially, i think that we've seen is that there's kind of an interesting kind of interesting coming together of people on both sides on this particular issue, especially after october 7th and the hamas attacks in israel. people are even more concerned about the manipulation of the algorithm on tik tok by bite bytedance. and that forbes journalists have been is your veiled using american data by bytedanced, these are chinese-based employees even after project texas was launched. we've also learned that the ccp actually inspected some of this data at bytedance. again, after project texas was launched and given these issues, given what the ceo of tik tok said on capitol hill and some of-- and how some of it doesn't seem to hold up, i think that there's increasing interest in this par
