How is the FBI reallocating this support to State and local partners to address the rise of White supremacists and anti-government groups?

I hope that you can shed some light on what the FBI can do and how Congress can support the agency to fight an epidemic that will claim 40,000 American lives this year.

So, my question is, how is the FBI supporting the ATF's recovery of firearms found to be transferred to a prohibited purchaser?

Gun violence is an epidemic in our country.

I believe there is a consensus within the Congress that, in fact, even if we disagree with one Chair or another Chair's subpoena, that we would like it handled quickly and in a way that we can believe is just and not partisan.

I appreciate this hearing coming in the early part of this Congress so that hopefully, before this Congress is over, we can, in fact, on a bipartisan basis, once and for all move ourselves toward a predictable process for discovery.

We made clear that the Executive Branch must respect our subpoenas, that there is no such thing as absolute immunity from congressional testimony.

It is our responsibility to ask for the information we require to do our jobs effectively, and the Constitution empowers us to enforce those requests if we are at first denied.

If Congress cannot reliably enforce its lawfully issued subpoenas, our constitutional structure has been profoundly undermined.

the budget requests that we're making answers the needs that we have, the gaps that need to be filled.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for being back before the committee and for your extraordinary work.

The influence of Russia and its leadership under the long rule of Vladimir Putin on global democratic backsliding and corrupt governance cannot be overStated.
