Christopher Wray: 'Never have so many serious threats all at once' Warns of 'potential for a coordinated attack here at home, similar to the ISIS-k attack we saw in the Russian concert hall a couple of weeks ago' Wray appeals to Congress to face the threats by not cutting funding for the FBI (500 million less in the latest budget) and by reapproving an "indispensable tool against our adversaries" The controversial law that allows warrantless surveillance of people inside and outside the U.S. to protect national security was sunk in a preliminary vote by the Trumpist faction.

Voting against were 19 'Maga' Republicans, who joined the progressive Democrats in arguing that the law, which expires on April 19, gives too much power to spy on citizens.
