Summary:
F.B.I. Director nominee Christopher Wray, former assistant attorney general during the George W. Bush administration, testifies at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Wray faces tough questions from both Republicans and Democrats on whether he would maintain the bureau's independence and apolitical stance. Wray denies being asked to swear loyalty to President Trump and vows only to be loyal to the United States Constitution and the rule of law. He directly disputes President Trump's assertion that the Russia investigation is a "witch hunt." Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) chairs the hearing.
