congressman manny answers from christopher wray.er recently declassified opinion with widespread privacy violations in the bureau. chief breaking news course when it trace gallagher on the case for us tonight, good evening. >> fbi director christopher wray was asked last year of the fbi abusing authority to obtain a fisa warrant against trump campaign aid carter page, director ray said it was unacceptable and "cannot be repeated" but newly declassified 67 page opinion from the visor court said the fbi abuse has ben repeatedly repeated. for example section 702 of the foreign section act lays out the guidelines the fbi needs to follow. yet the court determined that "the government has reported numerous sensitives regarding searches of section pfizer information without court information." and some 40 cases in which the fbi accessed information for investigations on health care fraud, domestic terrorism involving racially motivated extremist, even public corruption, not of which are related to surveillance. now g.o.p. congressman jim j

congressman jim jordan and andy biggs wrote letter to fbi director christopher wray demanding more fromavoid the secret system is not falling in line with the law. here's congressman jordan had to say earlier on fox, watch. >> we need to what important thing. it is the foreign intern intelligence surveillance act. not spying on american citizens. this should frighten everyone. kennedy: 's innuendos able to hold the spying government agencies accountable? the particle >>, karol markowicz, dave smith, and doug schoen. karol let us discuss a little bit. the fbi has been violating the fourth amendment in many ways for quite some time. whether it is illegally working with different law enforcement agencies, and creating cases against people who have not been criminally charged, or in this case violating section 702 of the fisa law. they have been going after healthcare fraud, bribery, public corruption, violent gangs, things that do not fall under section 702 which is really bad guys were not american citizens outside the united states were national security threat. that is a pretty narrow l

from washington, william barr reportedly threatened to quit when donald trump tried to fire christopher wray. that's according to "business insider." >>> a boat left six people injured. the vessel, you see it there burst into flames while refueling on a lake, and the jet ski also ignited a fire. >>> pictures in the backseat of a tesla with no driver under investigation by police in northern california. the man was reportedly spotted in the bay area. so far neither he nor the car has been found. in texas, two men died in a tesla crash. police say neither man was driving raising questions about the car's autopilot system. >>> time now for a look at your monday weather. the threat of severe weather like a tornado that left behind a trail of damage in southwest tennessee sunday shifts further to the west today. another tornado was reported in mississippi. no injuries from either storm as for today. severe storms are expected in southwest texas and heavy rain up to 4 inches could cause flash flooding along the gulf coast, parts of the rockies could see more than a foot of snow. checking today's h

i was hoping to have fbi director christopher wray here today to address the unanswered questions about the fbi's actions. i sent h multiple intation and even reschedul this hearing twice,ut he declined to appear. however, i am pleased to announce that director wray has agreed to appear before this committee in june, and i look forward to his testimony then. our final witness today is former acting secretary of defense christopher miller who led the department of defense on january 6th. when the capitol came under siege, the capitol police were badly outnumbered. the world looked to the department of defense to protect our government from attack. yet dod did not authorize the deployment of d.c. national guard troops to the capitol until nearly four hours, four hours after local officials first pled for help. even though we were under full-scale assault, dod hesitated until vice president pence -- not president trump -- gave the order to, quote, clear the capitol, end quote. dod's explanations of its own actions have failed to address critical questions. why did military leaders place un

he wrote this very direct letter to fbi director christopher wray asking for answers about a reuterseges the fbi had sources within the extremist group the proud boys but didn't use those sources well enough to gain what could have been crucial intelligence about their intentions for january 6th. in his letter, durbin cites reporting starting as early as 2019, at least four proud boys reportedly provided information to the fbi, including a self-described proud boys organizer and thought leader, adding that he feels these reports raise further concerns about the fbi's failure to detect and develop intelligence concerning the threat that the proud boys and other violent right wing extremists poised to the capitol january 6th. they've charged more than two dozen members of the proud boys and others associated with the group and cases related to the capitol riot. more than a dozen defendants face conspiracy charges. we've reached out to the fbi who said the bureau received that letter but didn't have any additional comment. the question has been, what information were you working with, a

that warning there that you just saw from fbi director christopher wray, you've seen it here before.onths ago, but it's news again today because it did nothing to quell what he describes there as the metastasizing spread of the ex-president's big lie that the election was stolen and instead of arizona's audit of 2020 ballots being just some weird anomaly, it may just be the new normal. as we see more and more americans questioning the crown jewel of our democracy, free and fair elections. new reporting in the "washington post" today paints a frightening picture of how trump has undermined confidence among his supporters in our democracy. from that new "post" reporting, quote, in emails, phone calls and public meetings, his supporters are questioning how their elections are administered and pressing public officials to revisit the vote count, wrongly insisting that trump won the presidential race. they detail specific and very recent examples, quote, at a public meeting last week in sheboygan county, michigan, a lawyer from detroit told county commissioners that the voting machines th

christopher wray testified before a committee early on that this was the major threat to america's peacefulupremacy groups and the like, we have to take them seriously. this is just not some blip on the screen, some social media phenomena. they are a danger to the united states and need to be treated as such. >> senator dick durbin, we appreciate you being with us. thanks for your time. >> thank you. >>> just in -- president biden and russia's vladimir putin expected to meet face-to-face next month in switzerland. we're told geneva emerged as the final contender for the host city. tensions obviously very high between these two countries. >>> with handgun deaths sharply increasing, texas just passed a new bill allowing people to openly carry without a license or training. a democrat from el paso, the scene of the 2019 massacre, think that's a terrible idea. he joins us next. front desk. yes, hello... i'm so... please hold. ♪ i got you. ♪ all by yourself. ♪ go with us and get millions of flexible booking options. expedia. it matters who you travel with. is your family ready for an emergency?

fbi director christopher wray recently testified before the senate judiciary committee. he said we at the fbi don't tend to think of violent extremism in terms of right, left. that's not a spectrum that we look at. i wonder if that will be clear to those who watch today's hearing. i hope so. i hope we hear from each of our witnesses about their efforts to combat domestic violent extremism no matter where it falls on the political spectrum. i also hope that we will hear that there is a uniform approach to enforcing all the laws that are on the books. that includes our immigration laws. illegal immigration has long plagued this country. it undermines american sovereignty and makes a mockery of our immigration laws. the failure to secure our border has for decades followed the cartels, drug smugglers and human traffickers to continue their practices largely unabated. the trump administration made a strong commitment to border security and achieve significant gains in restoring the rule of law along the southern border. yet, president biden in one of his first acts in office

officials who were directly involved in that response to the insurrection outside of fbi director christopher wray who has previously testified. there are so many critical questions that lawmakers need to ask and hopefully, jim, will elicit direct responses about the multiple failures on that day. we'll get to that in a moment. let's begin with our colleague manu raju on capitol hill. walks through what's about to happen. >> we expect this to happen potentially pretty quickly in order to push out liz cheney from the house republican leadership. virginia fox, a virginia republican congresswoman will -- north carolina congresswoman, will introduce a resolution to kick her out of the leadership post. recall her from the number three position. and then at that point, kevin mccarthy, the republican leader will essentially deem this as a privileged resolution. and that's significant because that means that all that is needed is a majority support within the republican conference to oust her from that critical position. and, assuming they get the votes, which is widely expected, she will no longer be par

rick, it is so striking that the canary in the mine was christopher wray who at the end of the summert. he said the biggest bucket, the biggest threat is violent extremist and in the bucket is white supremacists and notable that no one said the same thing. not the secretary of homeland security. not then attorney general barr. now at least you see this whole of government approach to fighting the greatist threat to the home land. >> yes. director wray was forthright and candid saying it's the greatest threat to the country and as someone that worked at the state department against foreign terrorism, you can't say this too many times. since 9/11 there have been about 85 attacks on the homeland considered domestic terrorism. 75% of those attacks were by extreme white ring terrorist organizations. not by foreign terrorist groups. this is not a new phenomenon. and as merrick garland said it's worse in the obama administration. i remember when i was at "time" we did a cover story on the rise of illegal private militias which were growing in part with a black president. and then you have ja

pelosi and it's on scope, and i wonder what you think is behind this obsession of lumping what christopher wray or white supremacy into this investigation into the attack on the capitol. >> well, because i -- first of all, i think kevin mccarthy is probably scared of what's going to come out with some of his conversations with trump where he had a momentary few hours where he put the country ahead of his own narrow political interests. but listen, i think they want to confuse the issue here and try and suggest that there was other people involved, but you know, the chief organizer of that event was donald trump. his accessories were josh hawley and ted cruz and kevin mccarthy and a lot of members of congress. so their culpability, we'd learn more in this commission about some of the involvement with members, with tours and some intelligence given to some of these folks and obviously keeping this in front of the american public is not helpful for the republican enterprise and so there's -- that is a secondary issue here. if there are political ramifications out of it. but this is one of the more

security of the homeland, and what do you make -- how do you protect the homeland from what christopher wrayfbi, describes as the gravest threat to the american homeland, domestic violent extremists, agitated and fueled by this big lie? how do you protect the country from that if the other party refuses to see it that way? >> that's the question. and nicole, there was really a stunning and kind of hilarious moment last night. i was sitting in my office waiting for the votes to resume, and josh hawley takes the floor and i hear out of corner of my eye, i'm reading something, he's talking about investigation and the american people deserve the and i thought, wow. he -- he's come around on this. and then, i heard, no, he's talking about an investigation as to what happened -- where the -- where the flu came from, and whether it came out of the lab in wuhan. so, you know, he's good with -- he's good with investigations. just not this one. the other thing is, you know, they talk about it might be partisan and all that kind of thing. i -- i did a little homework this morning. you know how many inv

director christopher wray and director of national intelligence, avril haines, asking to meet with them to discuss the august 20 briefings. we need answers, and we need answers now. why did the f.b.i. and the intelligence community brief us? who made that decision? at the briefing, the f.b.i. didn't even show up -- show us what the intelligence product -- what intelligence product formed the basis for the briefing. i'll tell you this -- even without seeing any paperwork, we were already aware of everything they talked about that very day, and it was unconnected to the substance of our investigation. i asked the f.b.i. whether they had any new intelligence to share, because we hadn't heard anything new, and they didn't give us a single new item. so as far as i'm concerned, the briefing was totally unnecessary. based on the time line of events, it appears the briefing was done because democrats wanted it done, which means it was a political decision. "the wall street journal" ended its piece by saying this -- quote, whether the f.b.i. was pressured, duped, or actively political, the burea

we have seen a justice department -- of course christopher wray, my humble opinion, when he was put in there with a job of cleaning up the finish, his idea of cleaning up for the f.b.i. was to sweep as much of the dirt under the rug so that people couldn't see it. just like now homeland security and health and human services, their job is not to secure the border under this administration, their job is now to get them away from the border as quickly as possible so that people don't see them. they're not in the news every night because they moved them out. as a border patrolman said, they're looked upon as the drug cartel, the mexican drug cartels' logistics. the drug cartel gets paid money or agreements to pay money from people they bring, including unaccompanied minors, and then the u.s. government is their logistics because the government ships future drug salers, traffickers, human trafficers, sex traffickers, our u.s. government ships them around the united states so that they can get to the town, the -- town the drug cartels want them doing their drug trafficking, human traffickin
