The article from The Independent discusses FBI Director Christopher Wray's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, where he faced intense scrutiny from Republican lawmakers.

During the session, Wray defended the FBI's actions, emphasizing the agency's commitment to following the facts wherever they lead, regardless of political implications. He also addressed concerns about the FBI's handling of various high-profile cases, including the investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop and the events of January 6.
