For years, Americans have watched their televisions or read their newspapers and seen the FBI constantly in the headlines--and not for the good. Under Director Christopher Wray's leadership, the FBI has become weaponized, and the American people's trust in the institution has been severely damaged. We have seen the agency launch an entirely unwarranted investigation against Donald Trump to prove nonexistent collusion with Russia. We have seen the agency use the Steele dossier to abuse the FISA process and spy on conservatives. We have seen the agency label parents concerned about what their children are learning in schools in Northern Virginia as domestic terrorists. We have seen the agency target whistleblowers who expose corrupt behavior and political bias. We have seen the agency target Catholics in Richmond, Virginia, who are simply exercising their First Amendment right to express their faith. The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee is demanding that Director Wray accept responsibility for the agency's abusive overreach of power, and the Appropriations Committee is taking action, using the power of the purse to rein in the abuses that have occurred in this agency. There is no place for politics within the FBI, and we will not stop working to bring an end to this weaponization of our law enforcement agencies and the use of these agencies against law-abiding Americans. Congratulations to Glenvar High School Men's Tennis Team
