FBI director Christopher Wray says U.S. lawmakers should be more conscious of the laws around handling classified documents, telling reporters the rules are 'there for a reason.'
urged U.S. officials and lawmakers to be"conscious of the rules" for handling classified documents Thursday, offering veiled criticism of President Biden and former President Donald Trump.
"That is, unfortunately, a regular part of our counterintelligence division, counterintelligence programs work, and people need to be conscious of the rules for classified information and appropriate handling of it," he continued."Those rules are there for a reason." Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsels Jack Smith and Robert Hur to investigate Trump and Biden respectively. The FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago home this summer after the former president declined to return classified documents to federal authorities.
"This is very serious," said during a Thursday meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee."It is completely unacceptable to me, I believe on a bipartisan basis, for the Biden administrationfrom performing its constitutional duty here…there are issues much larger than individual criminal investigation that I think needs to be addressed."
