Staff Reports
The FBI is concerned about potential terrorist attacks on American soil, similar to the recent one in Russia. FBI Director Christopher Wray spoke to Congress about these worries, stating that there are currently many threats to public safety and national security. Wray mentioned a recent terrorism incident in Russia and expressed fear that a similar attack could happen in the United States, especially as radical Islamic groups may be inspired by the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
During the congressional hearing, Wray also discussed the need for increased funding for the FBI and cited a substantial increase in threats towards FBI personnel and facilities. However, some Republican members pushed back against Wray’s narrative, expressing distrust and questioning the department’s leadership. They pointed to the FBI’s past investigations of political figures and raised concerns about the FBI’s ability to effectively address the current national security threats.
I was very direct with FBI Director Wray: I don’t trust him, and he’s failing to protect Americans from the national security and humanitarian crisis at our southern border.

The article also raises the question of whether the FBI is equipped to prevent large-scale terrorist threats and suggests that the agency may have been overly focused on political prosecutions in recent times. In light of these concerns, some doubt whether providing more funding to the FBI is the best solution and advocate for stronger leadership as a potential deterrent to potential attacks.
The article concludes with a message from The Western Journal, urging readers to support the publication in covering the 2024 election and fighting against censorship and misinformation. It emphasizes the importance of revealing the truth and resisting forces that seek to undermine America.
