FBI Director Christopher Wray met with the House Appropriations subcommittee on Thursday, where he warned of increased risks of terrorist activity in the U.S.
FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Appropriations subcommittee on Thursday that there is an increasing concern of a potential coordinated attack in the U.S., similar to the Islamic State in Khorasan Province attack last month at a concert hall in Russia. Wray, who spoke before lawmakers to discuss the FY25 budget, said his agency needed additional funding to protect Americans from terrorism, adding that there has been a heightened risk of violence in the U.S.
One GOP lawmaker compared the amendment's effects to forcing a police officer to seek a warrant before querying a license plate in their database. They explained that if a suspected terrorist overseas is communicating with a U.S. citizen at home, a Section 702 search would already pick up their specific communications with that U.S. citizen.
