“Is the United States safer from foreign terror threats today? Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office — from the day he took office?” Sen. Rick Scott, (R-FL) questioned Wray.
After a long pause, Wray responded.
“What I would say to you is that the terror threats have elevated. But I also think there are a lot of things the country has done throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them,” he stated.
While Wray acknowledged the elevated terror threats, he also mentioned that the country has taken measures to better prepare for dealing with them. (Trending: Judge Declines To Recuse From Trump 2024 Ballot Case)
Senator Rick Scott criticized Wray’s response, stating that the terror threats have indeed increased.
“I asked FBI Director Wray a simple question: is the U.S. safer today than it was before [Joe Biden] took office? After nearly 10 seconds of silence, he finally admitted what we all know… ‘…the terror threats have elevated…'” Scott posted online.
“The reality is that the terrorism threat has been elevated throughout 2023, but the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole other level,” Wray stated.
