FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend disputed testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray Wednesday, saying the agency’s Joint Terrorism Task Force surveilled parents.
Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday during a hearing titled “Oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” During the hearing, he faced tough questions from Republicans on the committee over the targeting of parents protesting at school board meetings, the reported presence of FBI sources at the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol building and the conduct of the Aug. 8 raid on Mar-a-Lago.
“The FBI is not in the business of investigating or policing speech at school board meetings, or anywhere else for that matter, and we’re not gonna start now,” Wray told Republican Rep.
