FBI Director Christopher Wray declined Tuesday to answer whether the recent New York hush money guilty verdict and three other indictments against former President Donald Trump amount to “election interference,” just five months out from the November 2024 race.
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, asked Wray whether the federal indictments against Trump and his New York conviction amounts to a level of election interference the bureau is concerned about. The FBI director said he was not able to comment on “pending state criminal prosecutions.”
“It’s not something I would ever do,” said Wray, a Trump appointee. Hagerty clarified, “I’m talking about utilizing governmental authority to interfere with an election.”
Hagerty said that last Thursday “we saw” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “do just that, with a flimsy made-up theory and a criminal conviction.”

Is that coordinated election interference, or is that just a coincidence that would happen?”
