FBI Chief Defends Bureau Against Trump Attacks, Mentions Sex Offenders & Traitors
FBI Director Christopher Wray defended the bureau on Thursday against President Donald Trump’s recent attacks, saying that its agents are working hard to stop “child predators” and “spies from Russia,” among other wrongdoers.
Those references perhaps inadvertently evoked Trump’s endorsement of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who is accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls, and Trump’s refusal to accept the US intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help him win. Wray was responding to a question from Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, about the president’s tweets on Sunday in which he claimed the FBI’s reputation was “in tatters.”
Trump faulted the bureau for its supposedly “phony” investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

"There is no shortage of opinions out there," Wray told the House Judiciary Committee. "What I can tell you is the FBI I see is tens of thousands of agents and analysts and staff working their tails off to keep Americans safe from the next terrorist attack; gang violence; child predators; spies from Russia, China, North Korea and Iran."
