FBI Director Christopher Wray tells the Senate Judiciary Committee the January 6 attack on the Capitol was "domestic terrorism."

FBI Director Christopher Wray: "Racially motivated violent extremism — specifically of the sort that advocates for the superiority of the white race — is a persistent, evolving threat ... and [it] is the biggest chunk of our domestic terrorism portfolio."

FBI Director Christopher Wray: No evidence of anarchist violent extremists, no evidence of Antifa, in connection with the January 6th insurrection.

FBI Director Christopher Wray on the modern formation of domestic terrorism:

"Some angry, demented guy living in mom's basement ... is now able to communicate with a similarly angry guy in grandma's attic in another part of the country ..."

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) asks FBI Director Christopher Wray about the FBI's collection of cellphone metadata during the Capitol insurrection.

Wray says: "I feel confident that we are using various legal authorities to look at metadata," but says he can't speak to specifics.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) blames D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for not calling the National Guard to deal with Capitol attack.
