Rep. Stefanik Wants Answers From FBI on Hunter Biden Laptop and Mar-a-Lago
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-NY. (in conversation). The conversation between Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY.) and FBI Director Christopher Wray was already icy and contentious at the time Stefanik asked Wray. “Do you believe the Hunter Biden laptop story is disinformation?”
Wray responded, “Well, I want to be careful about—there is an ongoing investigation that is relevant to that, so I have to be careful on what I can share on that here.”
Stefanik shot back, “Do you believe the Hunter Biden laptop story is disinformation?”
“I don’t think there’s anything I can share on that in an open setting,” Wray spoke.
Stefanik kept asking questions and interrogating. “Were you aware that the FBI personnel were in contact with Twitter regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story?”
“I don’t believe FBI personnel were in contact with Twitter about the Hunter laptop story, specifically,” Wray spoke. “I think there were people in contact with Twitter about Russian disinformation efforts.”
Stefanik responded: “Of which the Hunter Biden laptop story was included, according to the FBI.”
“Well, I think, I don’t know exactly what you’re looking at, but I’m happy to talk about what the FBI does and does not do with respect to social media companies,” Wray spoke.
‘The American People Deserve Answers’
Stefanik, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, questioned the FBI director during the hearing at which Wray and other top intelligence officials and spymasters testified and answered questions on “worldwide threats” America
Stefanik was one of a few GOP members who declared that if Republicans regained the House, there would be lots of fact-finding and investigation into FBI conduct.
The focus of the legislators was and remains on the FBI behind-the scenes intrusion in 2020 presidential campaign to suppress truth about Hunter Biden’s computer that, if revealed, could hurt his father’s chances of winning the election.
Concerning was also the motivation and decision-making process of the bureau regarding the raid on Trump’s Palm Beach home Mar-a-Lago. The action, which the lawmakers labeled federal overreach as well as a witch hunt, is of particular concern.
Stefanik was faithful to her promise and didn’t let Wray down during the hearing.
“Were you aware that the FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop since December of 2019?” asked Stefanik.
“I can’t speak to exactly when we had a laptop available,” Wray. “There is, as you know, an ongoing investigation run by the U. S. attorney out of Delaware from the prior administration that we continue to work very closely with.”
Stefanik retorted, “And we have an ongoing investigation as well.”
“And our Baltimore field office is working very hard with that U.S. attorney, and I expect them to pursue that case as far as it takes,” According to the FBI director.
Not satisfied, Stefanik said, “This stonewalling, Director Wray; the American people deserve answers, and this is unacceptable.”
Stefanik changed her inquiry to a different episode of FBI intelligence.
Stefanik asked, “Lastly, did you sign off on the Mar-a-Lago raid?”
“Well, first off, it was not a raid—it was an execution of a search warrant,” Wray spoke.
“Did you sign off on the execution of a search warrant?”
Wray answered, “May I finish? Second, I don’t sign off on individual search warrants, in that case, or in any other.”
“Did Attorney General Merrick Garland sign off to your awareness?” asked Stefanik.
“I can’t speak to the attorney general,” Wray.
Stefanik pressed: “Was there dissent at senior levels of the FBI about the conducting of the search warrant?”
The FBI director replied, “I can’t speak to internal discussions among the FBI or among the FBI and the Department of Justice.”
Stefanik replied, “Even though it’s been reported in the Washington Post?”
