51 arrests for federal crimes in connection with violent rioting, Barr says, and that arrests and prosecutions will continue where warranted.
"Rule of law will prevail" Barr says, introducing Wray and going out of his way to praise FBI for performing well in DC and around the country in dealing with criminals involved in extremist violence.
Wray says FBI opened criminal investigation within hours of George Floyd's death into former Minneapolis Police officers involved in it.
