Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La. called on FBI Director Christopher Wray to correct his congressional testimony on Sunday, alleging he made a number of "demonstrably untrue" statements during his hearing before the House Judiciary Committee last week.
"Chairman Jim Jordan and I are preparing a letter that we'll issue probably Monday or Tuesday to ask the director to correct his testimony," Johnson told "Sunday Night in America." We are going to point out the contradictions and what he said under oath and we'll start with that."
"I think some of the answers he provided to us in the hearing were demonstrably untrue," Johnson later added. "It's just a problem that scandal upon scandal continues to stack up."
During a contentious House committee hearing last Wednesday, Republican lawmakers grilled the FBI director on the politicization of his agency, a recent federal court ruling detailing the bureau’s alleged suppression of conservative free speech related to the Hunter Biden laptop story, COVID-19 origins and other subjects discussed by Americans on social media.
In a heated line of questioning, Johnson charged that he found it "stunning" that Wray made no mention in his opening statement -- nor in a lengthy report he prepared on July 12 -- of the July 4 injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Louisiana ordering the White House, Justice Department, the FBI and other Biden administration agencies to limit communication with social media companies regarding efforts to curb First Amendment-protected free speech.
