DOJ Called In After Former FBI Boss Accused of Misleading Lawmakers

DOJ Launches Probe Into Former FBI Director Over Alleged False Testimony
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has stepped in after accusations that former FBI Director Christopher Wray misled Congress. A government watchdog, the Oversight Project, filed a criminal referral urging the DOJ to investigate Wray for making false statements and obstructing congressional proceedings.

The Richmond Memo Controversy
The issue stems from Wray’s July 2023 testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. He discussed the so-called Richmond memo, which labeled Catholics as potential domestic threats. Wray claimed this memo came from a single FBI field office. He said he was “aghast” when he discovered it and promptly ordered its withdrawal.

Conflicting Evidence Emerges
However, the Oversight Project challenges Wray’s version. Evidence shows that multiple FBI field offices created similar documents. Moreover, a broader draft memo circulated, contradicting Wray’s claims. These findings suggest he may have provided a misleading account to lawmakers.

DOJ’s Next Move and Growing Scrutiny
So far, the DOJ has not publicly confirmed whether it will open a formal investigation. Meanwhile, this referral has intensified scrutiny of the FBI’s actions. It also raises pressing questions about accountability at the bureau’s highest levels.
