FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a House Judiciary Committee hearing that an individual affiliated with the agency is under investigation for making a 'totally inappropriate' post regarding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
When questioned by Rep. Chip Roy of Texas about whether any FBI agents had expressed disappointment that Trump survived the assassination attempt or made inappropriate comments about it, Wray responded that he was aware of at least one individual who had posted something he deemed as outrageous and unacceptable.
Wray stated that the individual in question has been referred to the FBI's inspection division, which handles internal affairs investigations and disciplinary actions within the agency.
The FBI director did not provide further details about the nature of the post or the identity of the individual being investigated. However, he emphasized that such behavior is not condoned within the agency and will be subject to disciplinary measures.
This incident highlights the importance of maintaining professionalism and impartiality within law enforcement agencies, particularly when it comes to sensitive political matters. The FBI's commitment to upholding its standards of conduct and accountability is evident in its swift response to address the inappropriate behavior.
As the investigation unfolds, the FBI will continue to prioritize integrity and transparency in its operations to uphold public trust and confidence in the agency's mission to uphold the rule of law.
