On 11/17/2022, FBI Director Christopher Wray, along with Secretary of DHS Alejandro Mayorkas, and Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Christine Abizaid, spoke before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. During the hearing, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) roasted FBI Director Chris Wray for leaving a statutorily-required committee hearing early so he could go on a vacation. Wray confessed that he cut short his appearance at a Senate oversight hearing in August to take a break in the Adirondacks using the official FBI jet despite initially indicating it was a “business” obligation.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) tore into Wray for his “indefensible” conduct and noted that Wray had implied to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) he had to leave as part of his official duties.
