FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has historically focused more on “abortion-related violent extremism” than targeting pro-lifers under the unconstitutional Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

“When it comes to FACE Act enforcement and abortion-related violent extremism, I think one of the things that gets lost — and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify — is that really, since the Dobbs decision, actually more of our abortion-related violent extremism investigations have focused on violence against pro-life facilities, as opposed to other way around,” Wray claimed.

As Republican Rep. Chip Roy quickly noted, nothing could be further from the truth.

“We’re still waiting on responses on letters that we’ve sent indicating data to the contrary,” Roy said. “There’s been a significant amount of efforts in targeting of people who are pro-lifers, who go to clinics, and that they’ve been prosecuted.”

Contrary to Wray’s claims, only five of the 60 cases brought under Biden’s watch focused on pro-abortion extremists. The other 55 targeted people who value life in the womb for praying, singing, and evangelizing at abortion facilities across the U.S.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told House lawmakers Wednesday his agency believes former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania live-streamed the venue with a drone two hours before the rally.

“We have recovered a drone that the shooter appears to have used,” Wray said, which is now being analyzed by an agency lab. “The drone was recovered in his vehicle, so at the time of the shooting the drone was in his vehicle with the controller.”

Wray said the shooter was “flying the drone around the area” roughly “200 yards” away from the rally grounds just hours before the event was scheduled to begin. “We think, but we do not know,” Wray said, “that he was live-streaming, viewing the footage.”

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan pressed Wray about several bombs discovered in the shooter’s car after the assassination attempt.

“We’ve recovered three devices,” Wray said, “three in his vehicle and one back in his residence.” The FBI director characterized the bombs as “relatively crude devices” but added “they did have the ability to be detonated remotely.” The shooter, Wray said, had a transmitter with him when he was killed by law enforcement, but explained “because of the on/off position on the receivers, that if he had tried to detonate those devices from the roof, it would not have worked.”

FBI Director Wray says that Thomas Crooks, the attempted Trump assassin, was flying a drone about 200 yds from the stage where Trump spoke about two hours before

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released bodycam footage Tuesday showing Secret Service and police speaking after killing the would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump. He also released security plans for the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.

“We NEED detailed answers ASAP on security failures,” Grassley posted on X. “TRANSPARENCY BRINGS ACCOUNTABILITY.”

Grassley wrote Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe, Jr., and Department of Homeland Security Director Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday, demanding the Secret Service’s “operational security plan” with “locations and roles of all federal personnel” staffing Trump’s June 13 rally where a gunman shot the former president in the ear, wounded two attendees, and killed Corey Comperatore. 

Grassley said Rowe and Mayorkas have until July 30 to respond. Kimberly Cheatle, Secret Service director at the time of the assassination attempt, resigned Tuesday after failing to answer questions from Congress.

Bodycam Footage

Grassley released bodycam footage on X, showing Secret Service speaking with Beaver County, Pennsylvania, police after taking out the shooter.

“A Beaver County sniper saw him, sent the pictures out. This is him,” a local officer said, gesturing to the deceased shooter.

The officer said a Beaver County sniper had sent pictures of the shooter on his bike before the attempted assassination, but lost track of him. Police reportedly saw the shooter with a rangefinder and backpack and relayed this to a “command center.” 

The officer showed a Secret Service agent the pictures.

“Yep, I got that one,” the agent said. 

The Secret Service agent said one person was detained, and a
