Federal authorities have opened “multiple investigations into individuals affiliated” with the Hamas terror group, but have not yet unearthed credible threats to the US, FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers Wednesday.
Wray did underscore that there is a “heightened threat environment” as calls grow for attacks on America and added that his most pressing concern was “homegrown violent extremists.”
“Since Oct. 7, we’ve seen a rogue’s gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against Americans and our allies,” Wray told the House Homeland Security Committee.
“Given those calls for action, our most immediate concern is that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home,” he went on.
While calling for Americans to show “heightened vigilance,” Wray also stressed that it is “by no means a time for panic.”
At one point, Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) pressed Wray about “suspected terrorists” apprehended at the US-Mexico border.
“Well, certainly the group of people that you’re talking about are a source of great concern for us, which is why we are aggressively using all 56 of our joint terrorism task forces,” Wray said.
Wray testified alongside Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and National Counterterrorism Center Director Christine Abizaid about global threats to the US and to American interests abroad.
The hearing took place as Congress nears a year-end deadline to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which grants law enforcement and intelligence agencies broad powers to conduct surveillance of foreign citizens in national security-related investigations.

Empty blather.
Well there is one big, fat ugly one with a large mouth right there in Congress. She has some buddies that are suspect too.
What are they being “investigated” for - not giving enough money to terrorist buddies?
Knowing how the FBI operates they will be listing Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene as prime suspects before long...
it should be quite easy, just track all the money Pedo Joe is sending to Iran and it will end up with the terroists.
Time to file charges against Wray.
Maybe the feds are trying to figure out how they can secretly slip the terrorists more money.
Bull****
