FBI Director Christopher Wray went silent Tuesday when questioned over whether the country is safer since President Biden took office.
"Is the United States safer from foreign terror threats today? Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office — from the day he took office?" Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., asked Wray during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing.
Wray took an extended pause, sitting silently and appearing to be in deep thought before finally answering.
"What I would say to you is that the terror threats have elevated. But I also think there are a lot of things the country has done throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them," he said, not directly saying whether the country has become safer under Biden's watch.
"I asked FBI Director Wray a simple question: is the U.S. safer today than it was before [Joe Biden] took office? After nearly 10 seconds of silence, he finally admitted what we all know… '…the terror threats have elevated…'" Scott wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after the hearing.
