FBI Director Christopher Wray will face questioning from House lawmakers on Wednesday about the bureau’s investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
The House Judiciary Committee led by Republican Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) will question Wray at 10:00 a.m. ET about the Trump assassination attempt and concerns about the politicization of the FBI. The hearing with Wray comes after lawmakers grilled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Monday before she stepped down on Tuesday.
According to the House Judiciary Committee, the hearing “will examine the FBI’s investigation into the assassination attempt against President Trump and the ongoing politicization of the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency under the direction of FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.”
Jordan wrote a letter to Wray last week asking him to provide the committee with documents about the FBI’s investigation into the attack on Trump and whether the campaign rally was left understaffed because of a NATO summit and a Jill Biden event.
“Information provided to this Committee raises serious questions about the thoroughness of the security planning by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in support of President Trump’s campaign rally,” Jordan wrote last week.
“The Committee has several unanswered questions about the failures that led to the attempted assassination of a president—the first in over forty years—as well as the FBI’s ability to conduct a rapid, transparent, and thorough investigation in the wake of its recent scandals,” he added.

Wray will likely be asked about how many agents are working the Trump investigation, how many buildings were secured inside and outside the perimeter for Trump’s rally, the FBI’s evaluation of the shooter’s phone, and why the rooftop of the American Glass Research Building was left unsecured, allowing 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks to take several shots at Trump.
Several lawmakers have already expressed concerns about the FBI handling the inquiry into the assassination because of its handling of other high-profile investigations, like The Covenant School shooting.
“My constituents are deeply concerned with the FBI conducting the sole investigation into the attempted assassination of President Trump,” Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) said last week. “They don’t have faith in the current FBI leadership to get to the truth given how they have targeted President Trump with political witch hunt after witch hunt at the behest of Joe Biden.”
