FBI Director Christopher Wray: 'This Hasn't Been An Easy Time For Us'


“We all want to see the day where we can close the book on this chapter,” Wray told The Daily Beast after the release of the IG’s report on the FBI’s handling of the Clinton probe.

Shortly after the release of a long-anticipated Justice Department inspector-general report into the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, FBI Director Chris Wray vowed accountability and perseverance in a message to his beleaguered workforce.

“We all want to see the day where we can close the book on this chapter and say, ‘That’s it. That’s behind us. Back to business,’” Wray said in his message, which The Daily Beast obtained ahead of a press conference Wray is scheduled to hold late Thursday afternoon. “But we’re not quite there yet.”

Wray said the inspector-general oversight will make the FBI “stronger as an organization.” As an accountability measure, he said he has “already referred conduct highlighted in the IG report” to the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility, and once the “appropriate disciplinary process” is complete, “we won’t hesitate to hold people accountable for their actions.”

While substantial political criticism has centered on FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page for their anti-Trump sentiments while at work on investigations relevant to Trump, Wray named no specific employees.
