Contrary to media reporting, Wray did not deny that spying on the Trump campaign occurred
With regard to Wray’s comments on ”spying,” he was actually responding to a question regarding the FBI’s normal operations:
Shaheen: I’d like to follow up on Senator Moran’s question about the hearing we had with Attorney General Barr. Because, I was very concerned by his use of the word “spying” which I think is a very loaded word. It conjures up a criminal connotation. I want to ask you and I’d appreciate a “yes” or “no” answer if possible.
When FBI agents conduct investigations against alleged mobsters, suspected terrorists, other criminals, do you believe that they’re engaging in “spying” when they’re following FBI investigative policies and procedures?
Wray: Well, that’s not the term I would use.
