Summary

WASHINGTON -- FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers on Wednesday that a laptop tied to the Trump rally gunman included a Google search of “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?” That is a reference to Lee Harvey Oswald, the shooter who killed President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. The Google search, apparently by rally gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, was done on July 6, a week before the shooting of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania Wray disclosed the new details in a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

in her very, very important law enforcement organization known as the Secret Service that protects

1:22.6

some of the most high target individuals on this planet.

1:28.4

And when you watched her testimony, it did not give you a great deal of confidence in her

1:35.6

ability to do that.

1:36.8

In fact, it left a great deal to be desired.

1:41.8

And I think we were all expecting that she would have been fired rather than

1:48.0

to resign. I think she had no choice but to resign. And especially after the performance

And it was very confrontational.

2:25.3

And I would study for those meetings for days, absolutely days, and have notes and have all of the cases at my fingertips.
