FBI Director Wray says idea he is targeting conservatives is 'somewhat insane'

FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a contentious House committee hearing on Wednesday that it is "somewhat insane" for anyone to suggest that he harbors a bias against conservatives.

"Well, first off, I would disagree with your characterization of the FBI and certainly your description of my own approach," Wray said in response to a grilling from Wyoming Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman over accusations that the FBI has become "weaponized" against conservatives.

"The idea that I'm biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me, given my own personal background," Wray, a registered Republican, added.
