Welcome everyone to the Tori Says Show. I'm your host Tori. So today is the 5th of February 2020 and I'm going to jump right into Christopher Ray's testimony.

Let's get this going. The House Committee on the Judiciary will come to order.

Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare recesses of the Committee at any time.

We welcome everyone to this morning's hearing and oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

I will now recognize myself for an opening statement.

Thank you, Director Ray Ray for being here. Although we have a

great deal of ground to cover today nearly every topic we discuss will be

linked to two questions. How is the FBI working to address some of the most serious threats to our nation?

And when it falls short, how is the Bureau working to correct its course and live up to our ideals?

The FBI is filled with brave devoted public servants who work hard to

keep us safe from threats, both domestic and foreign. But it is clear that more work needs to be done to show our public confidence in the Bureau.

The FBI's jurisdiction is broad.

Among other critical matters, the FBI is responsible for election security, criminal and counterterrorism investigations, our fight

against domestic terrorism, and oversight of our public servants. I'd like to talk

about each of these in a bit more detail. First, we are heading toward the 2020 elections.

There is nothing more important than ensuring that each and every American has

confidence in the integrity of his or her vote.

As you have warned us, foreign attacks in our elections continue to this day.

You recently stated, quote, Russia represents the most significant threat to the election cycle itself, close quote.

And other nation states, including China and Iran, may have an interest in interfering in our

next election, too.
