Democratic law makers call FBI chief a thug
FBI Director Christopher Wray faced sharp criticism from Democratic members of the U.S. Senate during a hearing, where the Senate accused him of misusing his powers in a biased manner to intimidate and pursue journalists. Wray denied these accusations, asserting that he had not used official resources to target journalists. He was also accused of turning the agency into a tool against former President Donald Trump's political opponents and of politicizing his work. Democratic Senator Cory Booker described him as a "bully," while Senator Dick Durbin considered Wray less qualified and accused him of using the bureau against his political adversaries. Additionally, Wray filed a lawsuit against a magazine and a journalist over an article that accused him of excessive alcohol consumption and threatened his position. Reports also allege that he sought to remove staff members who were not loyal to President Trump, though Wray stated that these personnel changes were voluntary and not a purge.
