FBI Director Christopher Wray was questioned on Wednesday about a questionnaire asking FBI employees whether they support Donald Trump during a hearing on July 13 assassination attempt.
FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday testified that a questionnaire given to some employees within the agency asked whether they supported former President Trump or if they got the COVID-19 vaccine. The admission came after questioning from Republican Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany, who asked Wray during the congressional hearing about the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump if 'support for President Trump is a security concern' among FBI employees.
So the document you're asking about is an interview outline that we only recently learned about, and in my view is completely inappropriate,' Wray said. 'I asked my team to get to the bottom of what happened and to ensure that doesn't happen again. And I've learned that it's not an FBI form, that its use was isolated, that it was created not by an FBI employee, but by an outside contractor. And that individual is no longer affiliated with the FBI.
Vocalize support for president Trump?' reads one question on the form. Another states: 'Vocalize objection to COVID-19 vaccination?' A third asks if the employee has vocalized any intent to attend Jan. 6, 2021. Wray said the questionnaire was created by 'an outside contractor' hired by the FBI to interview employees, and that person is no longer affiliated with the FBI.
